Comrades,
with `google-translate-translate', from
google-translate-core-ui.el version 0.11.9,
I suddenly, and with no change made to the
package, get this error:
Contacting host: translate.google.com:80
(error "Failed to search TKK") in
google-translate--search-tkk
I suppose Google changed something with
their interface?

The first place to look is the upstream:

It's been discussed here:
https://github.com/atykhonov/google-translate/issues/52#issuecomment-424796072
and if you upgrade that package now it seems fixed.

I upgraded to the Elpa version 20180926.1925,
but the problem is there as well, so I suppose
the fix ain't there yet.
I take it I could install it manually -
"install" I suppose would mean replacing an .el
file - but given it some thought, I think
that's exactly what I'll do :)

Strange, I upgraded to exactly that and the problem was fixed for me.
0.11.15 is the version of the package here, in non-elpa terms.

Yeah, I just had to restart Emacs.
avbitartång -> nippers
ner med det ena och det andra -> down with one and the other
seems to work as expected :)

Yes, but
talmeter -> TALMETER
That's what the older guys call the measuring tape.

I don't know even broadly how Google translate
works but one would assume they apply
algorithms on the internet to come up with
an answer.
It works great for common words, nouns and
such, like tools and actually a lot of things
that are considerably more odd, e.g.,
burspråk <-> bay window
but it works bad for phrases, expressions and
idioms; and even worse for arcane words that
probably to a large extent aren't even on the
internet, so by definition can't be found, or
can't without a razor-sharp algorithm at least,
if there are but a few occurrences of them.
