Generate a Google API Key

Setting up API keys for Google Translate

In order to create a Google Translate API Key you need a paid account. Through their terms and services, Google doesn’t allow for non-paid usage of their Translation API. If you don't reach the limit of requests (based on number of characters) they won't charge you anything ;)

For more information and to create your account (if you don't have it yet) please go to this site:

To create your application’s API key please go to the Cloud Platform Console.

2. With the new project selected, go to the hamburger menu to the left and visit API & Services

From Dashboard enable Google Translate API

Search for translate API and enable it

3. From the credentials interface create a new API Key.

4. Copy your API Key for use in Translate.me

5. Add the API Key in Translate.me
