Hi fatihbarut,

IMO, google translate api is used to translate text/paragraph or article.If it is used to translate the whole site, it will have bad performance and high cost which is not necessary at all.

https://cloud.google.com/translate/docs/quickstart-client-libraries

Since asp.net core globalization and localization could achieve it too and it is recommended to use built-in localization for static text.

Hi fatihbarut,

What I think is that if you use google translate api for the site, it will send large quantities of request to api when the page refreshes which will cause low performance.You need to use asp.net core globalization and localization with resource files , refer to the tutorial in details
