What I have tried:

uri = "http://www.google.com/transliterate/indic?tlqt=1&langpair=en|hi&text=" + HttpUtility.UrlEncode("India") + "&from=en&to=hi;
HttpWebRequest translationWebRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(uri);
WebResponse response = null;
response = translationWebRequest.GetResponse();// in this line error is coming
Stream stream = response.GetResponseStream();
Encoding encode = Encoding.GetEncoding("utf-8");
StreamReader translatedStream = new StreamReader(stream, encode);
 
Can any one help me ... how to solve this error!

I wonder how it compiles because you're missing a closing quote here "&from=en&to=hi";
But I after I copy paste your code, close the quote and execute it, I get 200 instead of 404

Compare the 2 strings. Something is different if one works and one doesn't.

NB: The Google Transliteration API[^] was deprecated in 2011. I'm surprised the web version is still working.

This is absolutely working for me.

C#

var uri = "http://www.google.com/transliterate/indic?tlqt=1&langpair=en|hi&text=India&from=en&to=hi";
            var translationWebRequest = (System.Net.HttpWebRequest)System.Net.WebRequest.Create(uri);
            var response = translationWebRequest.GetResponse();
            System.IO.Stream stream = response.GetResponseStream();
            Encoding encode = Encoding.GetEncoding("utf-8");
            System.IO.StreamReader translatedStream = new System.IO.StreamReader(stream, encode);

            var resp = translatedStream.ReadToEnd();
