Google Translate API v3: how to authenticate with private_key from Service Account Key?

How to authenticate to Google Translate API v3 with private_key from Service Account Key? As v3 doesn't work with api keys there should be a way of authentication but with private_key

Solution 
  • import { TranslationServiceClient } from '@google-cloud/translate';

const credentials = {
 client_email: <your_service_account_email>,
 private_key: <your_private_key_from_service_account_key>
};

const translationClient = new TranslationServiceClient({
    credentials,
});

// now you can use translationClient to perform translations
