To use V3 Advanced Translation in Trados Studio, a user must have direct access to a valid JSON file.

 JSON files are dependent on:

• A specific Google Cloud Project
• A Service Account

Service Accounts could be linked to a bucket. Buckets that manage your AutoML and glossaries. You can access your bucket by accessing your Cloud Storage

If you want to access your custom AutoML’s and glossaries in Trados Studio, you need to authenticate using JSON files

Generating JSON files

To download a JSON file, follow these steps:

1. Locate API and Services
2. Ensure you have the correct project – Example Google Translate V3
3. See list of Service Accounts
4. Click on your chosen service account email
   
5. Access Keys tab
   
6. Select Add Key then JSON
   

Once you see this popup, check your browser’s download location for the JSON file
