I need an example to convert Spanish language to English language using Google Translation API. I tried with the following code. It gives some exception. can someone help me on the same.

Code : 

import  com.google.api.translate.*;
public class GoogleTranslator {

    /**
     * @param args

    */
    @SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
    public static void main(String[] args) {// TODO code application logic here


            try {
                Translate.setHttpReferrer("sp-en");
                String translatedText = Translate.translate("Hola mundo", Language.SPANISH, Language.ENGLISH);
                System.out.println(translatedText);
                } catch (Exception ex) {
                ex.printStackTrace(); }

    }
}

you don't have an api key, for example GoogleAPI.setKey(); you need something like this to continue i guess

Set your DNS to google one

if on linux machine

sudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf

add 

nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4

or if on windows goto network setting and set DNS for active connection

You need to figure out why you don't reach this host: ajax.googleapis.com

The Exception says:

 java.net.UnknownHostException: ajax.googleapis.com

The javadoc says UnknownHostException is thrown to indicate that the IP address of a host could not be determined.

You should your DNS.

nslookup ajax.googleapis.com
