I am attempting to hire a developer to program a Google Translate API call into salesforce. I need to provide him with an API key for Google Translate on our Google Cloud account but can't figure out how to generate that key. Here is a slightly outdated definition of the integration I want to ask him to build. http://adaptatechnologies.com/implementing-google-translation-services-salesforce/ Where can I find the specific instructions to generate the Google Translate API key?

API keys are the same for all GCP APIs. Instructions here: https://cloud.google.com/docs/authentication/api-keys

The API keys can be created directly from the APIs & Services section of the GCP console, you can use the official documentation that contains the step-by-step process, as mentioned by Rob Kochman.
Additionally, I would recommend you to set some restrictions to the in order to define the specific services that can be used with each key (Translation API in this case), as well as determine the web sites, IP addresses, or apps can use an API key; in this way, you can add some additional security to your key avoiding to publicly exposing it which cloud lead to the compromise of your account and the generation of unexpected charges.
