Google Translate API key acquisition tutorial

Last updated on Aug 12, 2024

With Google Translate API key you can add translation on the WD Link site, that will translate the title and description of a product in the necessary language. If you work together with manufacturers from, for example, Poland, Germany or other country, then translation is mandatory, because data in the XML files might be in the language of that country or in English. Therefore, for the product titles and descriptions to be in Latvian, that information must be translated. So you do not have to do it manually, it can be done via Google Translate.

To acquire API translate you must have a Gmail account. Connecting Google translator requires additional costs, that is, extra 10 EUR per month. Then the translator will work on all added manufacturers. Here is more information about the costs from our side -  https://www.webdev.lv/vairumtirgotaju-xml-integracija-interneta-veikala/. The other part of the cost is for Google. To new clients Google adds 300 USD bonus for translation, that must be used in 90 days. After the bonus has been spent or the term has ended, clients will have to start paying. Respectively for 1 million symbols, client must pay 20 USD payment. Here is more information about Google costs -  https://cloud.google.com/translate/pricing
