+# Google Translate bot
+
+The Google Translate bot uses Google Translate to translate
+any text sent to it.
+
+## Setup
+
+This bot requires a google cloud API key. Create one
+[here](https://support.google.com/cloud/answer/6158862?hl=en)
+
+You should add this key to `googletranslate.conf`.
+
+To run this bot, use:
+`zulip-run-bots googletranslate -c <zuliprc file>
+--bot-config-file <path to googletranslate.conf>`
+
+## Usage
+
+To use this bot, @-mention it like this:
+
+`@-mention "<text>" <target language> <source language(Optional)>`
+
+`text` must be in quotation marks, and `source language`
+is optional.
+
+If `source language` is not given, it will automatically detect your language.
