More free and cheaper translations!

[vBET]

Hello.

At this moment we are making research about new translations APIs. The goal is - more free and cheaper translations for you

Right now you can use fee translations with vBET. This is given by Apertium and Microsoft APIs. Still Apertium do not cover lot of supported language pairs, and Microsoft is free with limitations (for more you need to pay).

Anyway vBET allows to use all supported engines at once, to minimize your translations costs (so use Apertium if possible, then use Microsoft if still have free limit, then...), so we want to add new APIs to make it even cheaper.

We are already experimenting with SDL BeGlobal which is still in sandbox, but soon will be fully open and are cheaper than Google. Also we found some other FREE APIs (with limitations, but vBET will switch to another engine automatically, when limits will be reached).

So assuming right now we started some tests with:
- Yandex API (FREE translations with high quotas: 1 000 000 characters/day! To compare Microsoft gives free 2M characters/months)
- DetectLanguage API (FREE language detection with high limits, user can choose paid higher limits)
- SDL BeGlobal API (paid translations, but cheaper than Google)
- Gengo API (translations, not sure is it paid or free, for sure human translation is paid, se send them email with questions about machine translation - in examples is 0 cost, in API result there is no info... - but we are watching close to this one)

We also still have some other APIs to check. There is lot of others. Unfortunately many of those allows only one translation per one request, what is not acceptable in our usage, where we translate lot of small portions of text stripped out of HTML, but if you know any translation/language detection API just write here. We will check it for possibility to use in vBET
