The usual transposition for a Bb instrument is Interval 1 and Key Alter 2, meaning one step up and add two sharps. You need the trumpet part to be written in Gb major, so the settings should be two steps up and enough flats to cancel the four sharps of E major and create the six flats for Gb major. Use Interval 2 and Key Alter -10.
