Google Cloud Translation integration
Google Cloud Translation API enables dynamic translation of text and documents between thousands of language pairs. Supports both Basic (v2) and Advanced (v3) editions with features including auto-detection of source language, Neural Machine Translation (NMT), Translation LLM models, glossaries for domain-specific terminology, batch translation for large volumes, and document translation preserving original formatting. Perfect for multilingual applications, content localization, real-time translation services, and enterprise translation workflows.
Say what should happen.
The workflow builds itself.
Common Google Cloud Translation use cases
- website localization
- Model discovery
- Pronunciation guides
- brand name consistency
- simple text translation
- validating glossary exists
- Domain-specific translation
- translating entire websites
- removing outdated glossaries
- glossary management interface
What you can do with Google Cloud Translation
Each of these is one operation on one endpoint, available both as a workflow step and as a tool an AI agent can call on its own. Nothing bundles several operations into one action, so what a run did stays readable afterwards.
Most endpoints run on the free plan. A few, mainly the ones that publish on your behalf, need a paid plan.
Glossary, 4 operations
create_glossaryCreate glossaryPOSTCreates a glossary in Google Cloud Translation for consistent terminology. Define term mappings that ensure specific translations across all requests using this glossary.delete_glossaryDelete glossaryDELETEDeletes a glossary from Google Cloud Translation. Removes the glossary and all its term entries permanently.get_glossaryGet glossaryGETRetrieves metadata for a specific Google Cloud Translation glossary. Returns details including language configuration, entry count, and creation timestamp.list_glossariesList glossariesGETLists all glossaries in a Google Cloud Translation project location. Returns metadata including names, language pairs, entry counts, and timestamps.
Language, 4 operations
detect_language_v2Detect language v2POSTDetects the language of text using Google Cloud Translation Basic API (v2). Simple language identification with API key authentication.detect_language_v3Detect language v3POSTDetects the language of text using Google Cloud Translation Advanced API (v3). Returns language code with confidence score for the input content.get_supported_languages_v2Get supported languages v2GETRetrieves supported languages for Google Cloud Translation Basic API (v2). Returns language codes with optional localized names.get_supported_languages_v3Get supported languages v3GETRetrieves supported languages for Google Cloud Translation Advanced API (v3). Returns language codes with localized names and source/target support indicators.
Translation, 3 operations

Use Google Cloud Translation from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex
Connect Google Cloud Translation in LiveContext, create an API key in Settings, then add the LiveContext MCP server to your client. Its Google Cloud Translation operations become tools the client can call, next to every other integration you connected.
claude mcp add --transport http livecontext https://livecontext.ai/mcp --header "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"[mcp_servers.livecontext]
url = "https://livecontext.ai/mcp"
[mcp_servers.livecontext.http_headers]
"X-API-Key" = "YOUR_API_KEY"{
"mcpServers": {

"type": "http",
"url": "https://livecontext.ai/mcp",
"headers": {
"X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"

}How to connect Google Cloud Translation
- Create your workspace
Sign up free. Nothing to install.
- Connect Google Cloud Translation once
Add your Google Cloud Translation connection in Settings. Every tool from this integration reuses it, and secrets are encrypted at rest and visible only to you.
- Describe the job in chat
The workflow builds itself in front of you and picks the endpoints it needs. Drag the steps yourself on the canvas whenever you would rather be explicit.
