# Google Translator

Connect Google Translator to JetAdmin to detect languages, list supported languages, and translate text directly in your app or workflows.

The **Google Translator resource** lets you use Google Cloud Translation inside JetAdmin. After connecting with your API key, you can run translation operations, detect languages from text input, and retrieve the list of languages supported by Google Translate.\
This is perfect for multilingual apps, content generation workflows, support tools, and automated translation tasks.

#### Steps

1. **Go to Data Settings:**\
   In JetAdmin, open **Data → Add Resource**.
2. **Select Google Translator:**\
   Choose **Google Translator** from the list of available data sources.
3. **Name your resource (optional):**\
   Give it a custom name like *Translator API* or *Language Tools*.
4. **Paste your Google API Key:**\
   Enter your Google Cloud Translation API key.\
   *Note: The Translation API must be enabled in your Google Cloud console.*
5. **Add Resource:**\
   JetAdmin will validate your key and complete the setup, making translation actions immediately available.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.jetadmin.io/user-guide/data-sources/business-apps/google-translator.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
