Translation Hub is now enforcing the following behaviors:

  • For new projects, you must enable the Translation Hub API starting today. For existing projects, Google performed a one-time automatic enablement of the Translation Hub API to prevent service interruptions.
  • Translation Hub has expanded Identity and Access Management (IAM) permission enforcement. Previously, Translation Hub IAM permissions weren't required to add and remove users from Translation Hub. To modify user access to Translation Hub portals, you must have the Translation Hub administrator role. If you already have this role, no action is necessary.
