I'm also getting this now. My previous fix had fixed the BAD_NETWORK error but now every request fails with this 503.

Edit: this stackoverflow question seems to have pointed out that it's probably being blocked for being a bot, and we can't exactly solve the captcha with a script.

While we're waiting for PR #16 or #18 to be merged, try this repo: teamsteamdev/google-translate-api#2083. I just ran $ yarn test and it passes for me. This branch incorporates PR #13 which switches from GET to POST when submitting longer text strings, and it should solve Issues #11, #5, and #7.

I added it to package.json in one of my projects like below, and no problems so far...

"dependencies": {
   "google-translate-api": "teamsteamdev/google-translate-api#2083"
}

Good luck! @eliavmaman @JukeboxRhino @tgyou @matheuss

I have noticed that Google rejects strings including \r. If you're having problems, try looking at the string you're passing for translation. I'm splitting my submissions into paragraphs and submitting them separately using Promise.all().
