+## Configuration
+
+Trucaption can be configured to translate captured text into other languages using Google Cloud Translation. 
+
+To use Google Cloud Translation, you will need:
+
+- A [Google Cloud](https://console.cloud.google.com/) account
+- Cloud Translation API enabled in the Google Cloud APIs
+
+To configure the Google Cloud account:
+
+1. [Enable the Cloud Translation API](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/library/translate.googleapis.com) for your Google Cloud project.
+2. Switch to the [Credentials](https://console.cloud.google.com/apis/credentials) page.
+3. Click "Create Credentials", then "API Key".
+4. Copy and save the displayed API key.
+5. Click the "Edit Key" link.
+6. Under "API Restrictions", click "Restrict Key".
+7. Select "Cloud Translation API" in the selection window.
+8. Click "Save".
+
+Once you have created your API key, configure Trucaption for translation:
+
+1. Within the editor window, click Settings, then Translation.
+2. Enable Translation.
+3. Paste the API key from the Google Console into the API Key box.
+4. Select an option for "Translate Interim Transcripts":
+    - Enabled: Trucaption will translate the word-by-word transcripts. Warning: this will significantly increase the translation API usage.
+    - Disabled: Trucaption will only translate final transcripts. This will delay the translation, but can increase accuracy and will reduce API usage.
+5. Add languages for translation using the drop-down and "Add Language" button.
