Hello Michael,

No question is stupid, and I'm here to help! To use Google Translate in Trados Studio 2024, you need to set it up as a machine translation provider. Here's how you can do it:

Step 1: Open Trados Studio 2024 and go to the "Project Settings" or "Options" dialog.

Step 2: Navigate to the "Language Pairs" > "All Language Pairs" > "Translation Memory and Automated Translation" section.

Step 3: Click on the "Add" button and select "Google Translate" from the list of providers.

Step 4: You will be prompted to enter your Google API key. This is a key you get from Google Cloud when you set up a Google Translate API project. If you don't have one, you'll need to create it on the Google Cloud Platform.

Step 5: After entering your API key, click "OK" to save your settings.

Now, Google Translate should be set up as a machine translation provider in your Trados Studio 2024. When you translate a document, Trados Studio will use Google Translate to provide suggestions.

Remember, using Google Translate API is a paid service, and you will be charged by Google based on the amount of text you translate.

I hope this helps! If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Best regards,
