To use the Google Translation Api you have to optain an ApiKey from Google Cloud Console. Using the Translation Api is not free, but the price for a single translation is very low. Anyway be aware of that!! You find more information here -> https://cloud.google.com/translate/pricing

  • Register for Google Cloud Console
  • Search for the Translation Api
  • Activate the Api. You have to create or select an purchase account, where you setup your payment method.
  • Create an ApiKey for the Translation Api. You can restrict your key to the Translation Api only.
  • Create the following resource xml file with any name inside the app project under app/res/values and enter your api key.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
  <string name="api_key">...ENTER YOUR API KEY HERE...</string>
