How to translate large text using Google Cloud Translation API in Python?

I want to translate large text using GoogleCloud Translation API. I am able to translate short sentences, but I can't translate large text because there is a limit. The Cloud Translation API is optimized for translation of short requests. The recommended maximum length for each request is 2K code points. Documentation link: https://cloud.google.com/translate/quotas

I am thinking to break the large content into small parts and call the API in a loop. But, I don't know the limit for different languages(for example English and Chinese character limit will be different).

What is 2k code points in the documentation? and how can I calculate the limit for different languages?

You can request for 5k characters per Google translation request. Our product applied 5k characters per request in Google Console platform. You can do that too.
