To start using Translation Hub, a Google Cloud administrator must create or set up an existing Google Cloud project. The administrator must enable the Cloud Translation API in the project. For more information about managing projects, see Manage access to projects, folders, and organizations.

This process involves the Google Cloud console, which is a web interface that you can use to provision, configure, manage, and monitor resources in Google Cloud. If you haven't used the Google Cloud console before, see the Cloud console page for more information.
