More professional.
If you use the http://www.programmableweb.com/api/google-ajax-language, you run the risk of overflow translated text in each text block.
The site offers no examples so your effort will be hard to get started.
Also Xara publishes text as SPANs for each line of text, so unless you really know JavaScript, your API approach will be very messy.
Acorn
As someone who has been through this I would HIGHLY recommend that you do as Acorn has advised. Xara is not the software to be using translation tools, a sentence in english may be 12 words but when translated to say french you could find it being 15 and suddenly your website's layout goes belly up.
In addition to what Acorn and Cloud say the automated translations (at least for german) are still very bad and it usually is easier to understand the original english text (at least for me).
