So, I am following the same procedure exactly according to the Google Translate API's Documentation.
The code below was provided in it.
# Imports the Google Cloud client library
from google.cloud import translate
# Instantiates a client
translate_client = translate.Client()
# The text to translate
text = u'Hello, world!'
# The target language
target = 'ru'
# Translates some text into Russian
translation = translate_client.translate(
text,
target_language=target)
print(u'Text: {}'.format(text))
print(u'Translation: {}'.format(translation['translatedText']))
Now when I run this I am returned with the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "test.py", line 5, in <module>
translate_client = translate.Client() File "C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\google\cloud\translate_v2\client.py", line 65, in __init__

The D:\Summer Projects\Translate\social media analysis-2a59d94ba22d.json
is the path where I put my key provided by Google Cloud for this project.
How do I resolve this?
Your need to set an environment variable for GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS
You can add this in your code by adding in the following lines:
credential_path = "D:\Summer Projects\Translate\social media analysis-2a59d94ba22d.json"
os.environ['GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS'] = credential_path
Complete solution:
# Imports the Google Cloud client library
import os
from google.cloud import translate
credential_path = "D:\Summer Projects\Translate\social media analysis-2a59d94ba22d.json"
os.environ['GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS'] = credential_path
# Instantiates a client
translate_client = translate.Client()
# The text to translate
text = u'Hello, world!'
# The target language
target = 'ru'
# Translates some text into Russian
translation = translate_client.translate(
text,
target_language=target)
print(u'Text: {}'.format(text))
print(u'Translation: {}'.format(translation['translatedText']))
