Unfortunately, I don't think you'll find a lot of legal experts in this group. Also, it's difficult to answer your questions definitively without knowing the specifics of your application. Is translating words the only purpose of your HUD? Or does it do something else, too? If it's merely a wrapper around the tranaslation api, I would be inclined to say that it would be in bad taste to charge for it, not to mention legally questionable; but if it does other functions as well, then you may well be able to charge.
As far as the "powered by..." moniker are concerned, yes. You probably need to add them somewhere on the screen such that the user will associate them with the translation. Jeremy R.
