Error while using Microsoft Translator API from console app

Question

I am trying to consume Microsoft Translator API by using the SOAP service exposed by them http://api.microsofttranslator.com/V1/SOAP.svc , by adding service reference in a console app and have tried calling Detect method but its failing with the below error

ServiceReference1.LanguageServiceClient client = new LanguageServiceClient();
                string detect = client.Detect("", "Hello");
                Console.WriteLine("Detected language "+detect.ToString());
                Console.ReadKey();

System.ServiceModel.FaultException: IP cannot access the service temporarily

That is a message (well, exception) returned by the server; you'll need to check the documentation for any cases in which it would refuse to serve requests. You may be temporarily disallowed from accessing the service, for example, if you made too many requests in a very short timespan or something similar - that's what it sounds like to me. Or that they somehow think you've been trying to do things against their terms of service.
