Explanation for the above URL is shown below:

(1) ie -> This is the encoding format used. The default as seen in the URL above is: UTF-8
(2) q -> This is the query string. URL encoding is a necessity for this field especially when the string contains special characters.
(3) tl -> This is the language to which the conversion will be done. This means the mp3 audio file will be read in this language. You can get the list of Google supported languages here https://developers.google.com/translate/v2/using_rest#language-params
