Finally, i've got it with POST, so no any chunks anymore.
$input = 'text to translate';
$post_data = array('v' => '1.0', 'langpair' => '.$source_lang.'|'.
$target_lang, 'q' => $input);
$url = "http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/language/translate";;
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, "your website name");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post_data);
$body = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
Big thanx to Jeremy as to my guiding star!
