The accepted answer appears to be out of date. You can now use the WebClient (.net 4.5) successfully to POST to the google translate API making sure to set the X-HTTP-Method-Override header.

Here is some code to show you how.

using (var webClient = new WebClient())
{
    webClient.Headers.Add("X-HTTP-Method-Override", "GET");
    var data = new NameValueCollection() 
    { 
        { "key", GoogleTranslateApiKey }, 
        { "source", "en" }, 
        { "target", "fr"}, 
        { "q", "
Hello World
" } 
    };
    try
    {
        var responseBytes = webClient.UploadValues(GoogleTranslateApiUrl, "POST", data);
        var json = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(responseBytes);
        var result = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(json);
        var translation = result.data.translations[0].translatedText;
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        loggingService.Error(ex.Message);
    }
}
