Google Translate
Add Google Translate to your product for your customers, and give your AI agents governed access to it.
Embed a Google Translate integration so your customers can translate content held in your product using their own Google Cloud project, with usage and cost on their account rather than a shared key you maintain. fastn handles per-customer credentials, batching, retries, and API upkeep, so adding a language is configuration rather than a release.
In your product
Embedded for your customers. Per-tenant auth, no per-customer code, maintained by fastn.
Let customers translate content held in your product into the languages they support.
Detect the language of incoming text so your product routes or replies appropriately.
List supported languages so your product only offers pairs the customer's project can serve.
Keep translation usage per tenant so each customer's quota and cost stay their own.
For your AI agents
Governed, audited access for the agents you build, through the MCP server.
An agent translates an inbound customer message before drafting a reply.
An agent detects the language of a document, then continues working in that language.
Translation calls run under the customer's own project and are logged per tenant.
Example prompt
Detect the language of these three support messages and translate each one into English.
Set up Google Translate in 4 steps
- 01Open the Google Translate connector from your fastn dashboard.
- 02Have each customer authenticate their own Google Cloud project.
- 03Map the language pairs and text fields your product translates, then enable actions.
- 04Call them from your product, or expose them to an agent through the MCP server.
Why teams use the Google Translate integration
What you get by embedding it with fastn instead of building it yourself.
- Ship a Google Translate integration without building it. Your customers connect their own Google Translate account inside your product and work their models, requests and outputs there, with no per-customer code on your side.
- Handle the part that actually costs time: per-customer keys, quotas and cost attribution matter more than schema here, because every call is billed. fastn owns the auth, token refresh, rate limits, pagination and breaking-change fixes, so a Google Translate update is not your on-call problem.
- One integration serves your product and your agents. The same governed Google Translate connection powers in-product features and gives AI agents scoped, audited access, so you give your product and your agents a model call each customer pays for themselves without wiring it twice.

AmplitudeGoogle Translate integration FAQ
How do I add a Google Translate integration to my product?
Enable the Google Translate connector in your fastn dashboard, then let each customer authenticate their own Google Translate account. fastn handles the OAuth flow, token storage and refresh per tenant, so there is no Google Translate client code in your app and no per-customer branch in your codebase. Setup is 4 steps.
Do my customers each connect their own Google Translate account?
Yes. Every connection is scoped to the individual customer, so each authorises their own Google Translate account and only ever sees their own models, requests and outputs. That per-tenant isolation is the point of an embedded integration: you support the long tail of customer setups without maintaining an integration per customer.
Can AI agents use this Google Translate integration?
Yes. The same connection is exposed to your agents through the fastn MCP gateway, with permissions scoped per tenant and every call audited. An agent translates an inbound customer message before drafting a reply.
Who maintains the Google Translate integration?
fastn does. When Google Translate changes an endpoint, deprecates a field or alters its auth, the fix lands in the connector rather than in your backlog, and your customers' connections keep working.
Whose Google Translate API key and quota does each call use?
Each customer authorises their own Google Translate account, so usage, rate limits and cost land on the customer that caused them. You are not metering a shared key and re-billing it, and one heavy customer cannot exhaust another's quota.
Are inputs and outputs auditable?
Yes. Every call is logged per tenant with the call, the input and the result, so an output can be traced back to what produced it. That matters more here than in most integrations, because a generated answer or an extracted field cannot be reconstructed from the request alone.
What can I build with the Google Translate integration?
A common starting point: translate content held in your product into the languages they support. Teams also use it for the other use cases listed above, and expose it to agents for governed reads and writes.
How much does the Google Translate integration cost?
It is included. Pricing is based on connected accounts, not on how many connectors you enable, so adding Google Translate does not change your per-connector cost. You can start free with 3 connected accounts.
