Error: API returned: Daily Limit Exceeded - is there a temp file?

[TimHenrichsen]

I tried to use the package to translate some text. I checked the nchar amount, which is within the daily limit (https://cloud.google.com/translate/quotas)

sum(nchar(articles_to_translate))
[1] 1999332

I then used the command

articles_translated <- gl_translate(articles_to_translate, 
                                    target = "en",
                                    format = "text",
                                    source = "it")

which seemed to work until I received a daily limit exceeded error. Now Google already billed me, but no results were returned in R.
Is there a way to still get the result for example from temporary files somewhere on my harddisk?

Thanks for your help, sessioninfo below:

Hmm sorry about that, thats a tough one to test for. If you need to do that many per day regularly definitely apply for a bigger quota, which I see can be raised to unlimited.

It thought maybe that nchar() isn't exactly the number of characters it uses to judge the quota, but it seems from here multi-byte characters etc. are fine. It may be worth asking on that forum if the 2million limit is an exact one.

The results are not stored in temporary files as it stands now, but I will look at adding code that will return what has been translated so far to help avoid such situations in the future.
