Google Translation V3 API - Glossary resource error

Question

Created a glossary resource -- Step 1) Kept a glossary csv sheet in GCS. Step 2) request.json as below -

{
  "name":"projects/my-project-id/locations/us-central1/glossaries/my-glossary-id",
  "languagePair": {
    "sourceLanguageCode": "en",
    "targetLanguageCode": "ru"
    },
  "inputConfig": {
    "gcsSource": {
      "inputUri": "gs://my-bucket-id/my-glossary-id.csv"
    }
  }
}

Step 3) curl -X POST -H "Authorization: Bearer "$(gcloud auth application-default print-access-token) -H "Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8" -d @request.json https://translation.googleapis.com/v3/projects/my-project-id/locations/us-central1/glossaries

Got the below as response -

{
  "name": "projects/my-project-id/locations/us-central1/operations/20210322-02431616406238-605596c9-0000-21a9-91e6-94eb2c045d66",
  "metadata": {
    "@type": "type.googleapis.com/google.cloud.translation.v3.CreateGlossaryMetadata",
    "name": "projects/my-project-id/locations/us-central1/glossaries/my-glossary-id",
    "state": "RUNNING",
    "submitTime": "2021-03-22T09:43:58.973617420Z"
  }
}

BUT when i want to list the glossaries - It returns a blank :-

curl -X GET -H "Authorization: Bearer "$(gcloud auth application-default print-access-token) https://translation.googleapis.com/v3/projects/my-project-id/locations/us-central1/glossaries

the response is as follows -- {}

ALSO - when i use this glossary to translate my text - it throws below error -

{
  "error": {
    "code": 404,
    "message": "Glossary not found.; Failed to initialize a glossary.",
    "status": "NOT_FOUND"
  }
}

Some things to verify:

Check that your bucket is only in uscentral-1. It can't be multi-region or anything else. It must be uscentral-1. https://cloud.google.com/translate/docs/migrate-to-v3#resources_projects_and_locations:~:text=For%20all%20custom%20resources%E2%80%94AutoML%20models%2C%20glossaries%2C%20long%2Drunning%2Doperations%E2%80%94you%20must%20use%20us%2Dcentral1
After you send the request to create the resource, can you try polling the long running request to make sure it has completed?
try deleting the glossary resource before retrying
can you double check that your glossary csv file is named my-glossary-id.csv?

I wrote a walkthrough and made a repo with example code if you'd find that helpful too:
