Omg I didn't know this workflow worked again. 
 
Big thank you's for this!

It looks like Translate Shell (which used the same path) found a new way to use it. It should easily be adaptable. So this means that they didn't close it; they just changed it....

I don't think it is new. The endpoint that this (and my) workflow used was unofficial, and the paid translation API has been around for quite a while. So, these just used a sort of backdoor that Google had left open. Now, the URL leads to a redirect captcha challenge that redirects nowhere.
 
It's a pity that they closed the endpoint, but we can't be too mad because it was never official to begin with.

What actually happens is that Google returns each sentence as a separate result, but the workflow throws away all but the first.
 
To get multi-sentence results, open the workflow in Finder and edit the translate script in it to read as follows. This will show all the sentences in a translation. Because Alfred can't show much text in its results, I've added copy text and large type. Hit CMD+C on a result to copy the translation to the clipboard and CMD+L to show the full translation in Alfred's large type window.
