## What is the Google Translate App and what are the benefits of using it?

The new Google Translate App for Agility lives on your Content Item sidebar and allows you to translate content from fields that you select 

This allows you to create an item in a locale you’re familiar with, then change to a new locale and select **Copy from...** to copy from the previous locale.  

Once you’re on the item you copied in the new locale, you can then use the Google Translate app to translate the values of those fields as needed.  

## Preparing Google Cloud Translation for Installation

To start, there’s a few configuration settings you’ll need to install your Google Translate App in Agility 

1. To start using Google Cloud Translation, navigate to your [Google Cloud Platform Console](https://console.cloud.google.com/).

2. Click **Create Project** at the top of the page

3. **Enter a Name **for your project, then click **Create** 

4. Once you’ve created a project, we’ll need to enable the API. To do this, search for the **Google Cloud Translation API **within your project and **Enable** it

5. The next step is to set up authentication with a service account so 
you can access the API from your website or application. To do this from
 your **Cloud Console**, select **Service Accounts** and then click **Create Service Account **at the top of the page
