The reason the first code sample doesn t work is because the layout of the page changed   As per the warning on that page   The translated string is fetched by the RegEx close to the bottom  This could of course change  and you have to keep it up to date   I think this should work for now  at least until they change the page again    public string TranslateText string input  string languagePair        string url   String Format  http   www google com translate t hl en amp ie UTF8 amp text  0  amp langpair  1    input  languagePair       WebClient webClient   new WebClient        webClient Encoding   System Text Encoding UTF8      string result   webClient DownloadString url       result   result Substring result IndexOf   lt span title          lt span title     Length       result   result Substring result IndexOf        1       result   result Substring 0  result IndexOf   lt  span          return result Trim

Google is going to shut the translate API down by the end of 2011  so you should be looking at the alternatives
