Hi,
I have a script (Apps Script) which is taking a file from Google Drive translates it and the result is written back to GoogleDrive as a new file.
For the translation I’m using the LanguageApp.translate which has a limit (per min and per day) for free tier. I am hitting this limit and threfore willing to use a premium tier as it’s suggests and connect it to the my GCP, but without any success.
What was done
- This script was added to a GCP project under my account in Apps Script settings
- billing was added this project in GCP
- I have enabled APIs for this project and Google translate is one of them, though i’m not sure what exactly LanguageApp.translate is using
Once the script is launched I see on GCP API monitoring that there are requests on Google drive API, but non on Google translation…
Any ideas (if it is possible at all) ?

Hi @MarkGla ,
Ideally, if your script worked on your trial/ free tier, it should also be working on your paid tier since your concerns are more on quotas and limits. It is possible that there is a configuration mismatch between your free and paid setup.
Here’s some pointers that might help.
- The Cloud Translate API should be enabled in your Google Cloud Project
- The LanguageApp library must be installed in your Google Workspace AppScript project
- Set the correct credentials for your Google Cloud project in your AppScript project
- Try restarting your Google Cloud project and clear your browser’s cache and cookies
- Contact Google Cloud Translate support for further assistance
Thank you for your replay.
The thing that puzzles me is that Apps Script uses DriveApp and LanguageAPP functions. Once I run the script, I do see in GCP API dashboard that Google Drive API reports of transactions being made, while the Google Translate API is flat on zero calls, this I can explain only if the LanguageAPP translate function doesn’t use this API but something else…
