Adding translation to chatwoot.

See https://www.chatwoot.com/docs/product/features/google-translate/

Configure a google account#

Following https://cloud.google.com/translate/docs/setup

I wanted to create a specific project in Google Cloud Platform but I'm not able to link it to the invoice account that we use for robotoff. We have two project using this account. I will add my API key to openfoodfacts (under no organization).

First Activate translation API:

  • From project home page
  • API and services --> Activated API and services --> + activate API and services button
  • search translation
  • choose cloud translation API
  • activate

(in my case it was already activated !)

Create identifier:

  • From project home page
  • API and services --> Identifier
  • click create identifiers / Service account
  • Add a sensible name and description to the account (here chatwoot translation)

  • Enable it to access to google translation as a user

  • and create
  • then go to this account,
  • go to keys tab and add a key, json
  • it creates a key and a json file is downloaded

Configure Chatwoot#

Go in parameters / applications / configure Google Translate

  • Paste project ID (you get it in google cloud console, on project home page)
  • Paste the content of the JSON file uploaded as key was created in google cloud
