how to translate language of a control using google api

I download the GoogleTranslateAPI.dll file and added the reference of it to my project. Now i took a textbox and wrote 'John' in it and took a label and want to be written 'John' in it but in 'French' language. So i wrote in the button_click event....

    private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        string TT = Txt1.Text;

        Label1.Text=Google.API.Translate.Translator.Translate(TT, Google.API.Translate.Language.English,Google.API.Translate.Language.French);
    }

This gives an error saying "TRANSLATE FAILED"... Can anyone tell what i did wrong ?? This is a desktop application and will run off line.

Google Translate API v2 is the current version and is (since December 1, 2011) only available as a paid service...

Anyway to access the API the way you want to you need to register a key with Google and use that in your code. For some general information see http://code.google.com/intl/en-US/apis/language/translate/v2/getting_started.html

UPDATE - as per comments and after the OP update the question:

The Google API is only usable online - the DLL you downloaded is just a wrapper around the http-based server API.

IF you need to do this offline you will have to buy some commercial package with dictionaries for any language pairs you need and install that locally...
