Google Translate API Constructor

I'm currently trying to implement the Google Translate API in my nodejs app. After a some trial and error (and googling) I finally figured out how to properly instantiate a new Translate object by passing in an object with a projectId and credentials.

However, my figuring out how to do this was mostly luck. Where would I actually find the documentation from google about what should go in this constructor? The closest I've found is this documentation that shows that the constructor takes a TranslateConfig but doesn't actually explain what the config is.

const GOOGLE_CREDENTIAL = JSON.parse(process.env.GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIAL);
async function translateText() {
  const translate = new Translate({projectId: GOOGLE_CREDENTIAL.project_id, credentials: GOOGLE_CREDENTIAL});
  let myTranslate = await translate.translate('who are you', 'es');
  console.log(myTranslate);
}

TLDR: Where do I find documentation that explains the valid arguments for this constructor?

You can use search input at the top of the page you've referenced to gain access to the specification of what TranslateConfig is:

https://cloud.google.com/nodejs/docs/reference/translate/latest/translate/v2.translateconfig?hl=en

You can see there that by itself it exposes only apiEndpoint, autoRetry, key and maxRetries properties, but inherits a bunch of properties of the GoogleAuthOptions interface.

You can also check the the official Git repository - maybe it will be of more use to you:
