Is it possible to access to google translate api for free? [closed]

Google only gives access to their translate API with payment but I want free access.

Is it possible to use Google's translate API for free? What are the alternatives?

No, you can't! After a while, Google will detect suspicious traffic from your IP and you will get 503 error. – Cigarette
