Google Cloud Translator offers a free tier of 500,000 translated characters each month. To utilize this service for translating content, you need a Google Cloud Platform account with billing enabled and a service account key. Follow the official Google instructions to create an account and enable billing.
Access the Lango admin panel and click the "Add Provider" button
Upload your Google Cloud Service account key and click Save
After saving, the key will be encrypted and no longer visible. Ensure you have kept a copy of your service account key securely stored
Lango will verify your configuration. Once verified, the provider will be set as active and default.
If you encounter issues, consider the following common causes:
Invalid Service Account Key: Ensure the uploaded file is the correct service account key downloaded from Google Cloud;
API Activation: Verify that the Google Cloud Translator API is activated on your Google account
Insufficient Permissions: Check that your service account has the necessary permissions to access the Cloud Translator API. Review the IAM settings for your service account
Billing Issues: Confirm that billing is active on your Google account and that you have a valid payment method
