Unfortunately, it is extremely difficult to figure out what exactly is going on without a few more details about how you're using and calling the API. That said, you have provided enough information for me to guess that you're using the Translate API v1. In general, with v1, the error that you're seeing generally comes when you've sent too many requests and triggered the throttling mechanisms. I believe, however, that it may also appear if you do not include the HTTP_REFERER header from a non-browser client. You will definitely want to check that out.
That said, if the issue is one of too many requests, you can mitigate the situation to an extent by including the key, as you have proposed. In that case, where you put the API key depends on how you're utilizing the API. If you're using it via the Javascript API, you include the key as a parameter of the jsapi loader, as below: <script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.google.com/jsapi?key=<YOUR_KEY_HERE>"></script> If, however, you're using the API RESTful endpoints (i.e., from anything other than the Javascript API), you need to include it as a parameter in the url of any request you send to the endpoint, as below: url = "http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/services/language/translate?v=1.0&key=<YOUR_KEY_HERE>&q=hello, world..." As I said, if none of the above solves the problem, then please don't hesitate to post back. Just remember that we'll need more details. I would suggest one of two things. If you're using the Javascript API, post a link to your page, regardless of whether it's working or not. That way we can see what's going on in context. If you're not using the Javascript API or posting a link is absolutely impossible, then copy the relevant code to a pasting service and post the link to that. Jeremy R.
