What is the "parent" parameter in Google Cloud Translate Advanced (V3)

Google Translate API v3 requires us to pass the "parent" parameter.

It's everywhere on their sample code, such as :

/**   * TODO(developer): Uncomment these variables before running the sample.   */  // const projectId = 'YOUR_PROJECT_ID';  // const location = 'global';  // const text = 'text to translate';    // Imports the Google Cloud Translation library  const {TranslationServiceClient} = require('@google-cloud/translate');    // Instantiates a client  const translationClient = new TranslationServiceClient();  async function translateText() {    // Construct request    const request = {      parent: `projects/${projectId}/locations/${location}`, // <-- HERE      contents: [text],      mimeType: 'text/plain', // mime types: text/plain, text/html      sourceLanguageCode: 'en',      targetLanguageCode: 'sr-Latn',    };      // Run request    const [response] = await translationClient.translateText(request);      for (const translation of response.translations) {      console.log(`Translation: ${translation.translatedText}`);    }  }    translateText();  

But I can not find the information anywhere about what is this "parent" parameter, how to fill it, where do I get it. Can anyone help me?
