I've seen this error in two different cases with the Translate API: (1) too many requests in a short period of time, and (2) failure to include the HTTP_REFERER header with the request as required in the TOS. The first of these cases is generally caused by applications designed to make large numbers of automated queries to the service, which is prohibited in the TOS.
That said, there are two options for you to consider, but here's a third: the Translate API v1 will be discontinued on December 1, 2011, (i.e., 3 months away). The v2 API will continue to operate, but it will be moved to a paid offering. You will want to keep that in mind as you work on your application. Jeremy R.
