Google Translate

View on Github

Google Translate is a multilingual neural machine translation service developed by Google to translate text, documents and websites from one language into another.

Before setting up

Before you can connect you need to make sure that:

  • You have a Service account configuration string for your Google Cloud project. You can create a service account or use an existing one in the Google Cloud Console (IAM & Admin -> Service accounts) and generate a key for it. The key will be a JSON file that contains the service account configuration string. You should copy the content of the JSON file and paste it into the Service account configuration string field.

Connecting

  1. Navigate to Apps, and identify the Google Translate app. You can use search to find it.
  2. Click Add Connection.
  3. Name your connection for future reference e.g. ‘My Google Translate connection’.
  4. Fill in the ‘Service account configuration string’ field.
  5. Click Connect.
