Google Translate API - True or False?!

While countless people all over the world prepare themselves for the day when Google Translate is no longer available in an API solution (supposedly in December), others refuse to do so and beg Google to reconsider.
Rumors are spreading that Google may have succumbed to the insane demand for their Translate API service and will continue to offer their Translate API - but for a price.
The question business people, marketers, developers and affiliates are asking all over the world is - so what's true?
Whatever the truth really is, Google has to give an official statement with a final decision as to what will be going on with their Translate API. People all over the world depend on this service to run their businesses and must have time to consider alternatives. These alternatives will not be easy to find. Apparently there are only four companies in the whole world with this kind of translation technology and now Google, which was one of them, is no longer an option (or is it?).
Microsoft is trying to ride the wave now with their own translation service, however a simple test of two or three sentences between Google and Microsoft show that MS simply aren't as good! A good recommendation would be WhiteSmoke Translator - their translation is as precise as Google and sometimes shows even better results. The only question now is - do they have their translator in an API service and if not, would they be willing to do so and "ride the wave" like Microsoft?

Only time will tell, unfortunately time is running out. We're all waiting for more news from Google and will update our faithful readers once something comes up.
