Is it possible to use the Google Translate api with iOS?

Question

How do I use the google translate API with iOS 6.0? I have tried googling the documentation and tried to research it, but I can't find anything that is updated since google made the api to be no longer free.

The only thing I have been able to find was this, but it didn't really help much because I need to use the api key that I have, but I have no idea how to.

This seems up to date: https://developers.google.com/translate/v2/getting_started

Yes, it is. Once you get your Google key, just plug it into FGTranslator . Note, generate a "server" key, since the Google Translate API does not currently support iOS keys.

It's just a one-line call to the translate function after that.

FGTranslator *translator = [[FGTranslator alloc] initWithGoogleAPIKey:@"your_google_key"];

[translator translateText:@"Bonjour!" 
               completion:^(NSError *error, NSString *translated, NSString *sourceLanguage)
{
    NSLog(@"translated from %@: %@", sourceLanguage, translated);
}];
