- Text Translation: Enables translation of input text to one or multiple target languages via subflows and actions.
- Subflows: Includes published subflows such as Detect Language and Translate Text To Multiple Languages that can be embedded into broader flows.
- Actions: Offers discrete actions for language detection, single language translation, and multiple language translation, allowing flexible integration in automation workflows.
- Connection Management: Uses alias records (GoogleTranslation alias) to manage OAuth 2.0 JWT Bearer Grant tokens and connection credentials, simplifying credential updates across multiple environments.
Practical Considerations for ServiceNow Customers
- Ensure you have the appropriate subscription and the Dynamic Translation plugin activated before installation.
- Configure your Google Cloud account to generate the required OAuth 2.0 JWT Bearer Grant token for authentication.
- Use the provided alias mechanism to streamline connection and credential management, minimizing maintenance efforts.
- Although no sample flows are included, you can incorporate the provided subflows and actions into your own workflows to automate translation and language detection features.

Spoke flows
This spoke has no sample flows.
Spoke subflows
The Google Cloud Translator Service spoke provides subflows in the Published state to integrate with the Google translation service. These subflows can be used as part of other subflows and flows.
| Subflow | Description |
|---|---|
| Detect Language | Contains a set of inputs, actions, and outputs to detect the language of the input text. |
| Translate Text To Multiple Languages | Contains a set of inputs, actions, and outputs to translate the input text to multiple languages. |
Spoke actions
The Google Cloud Translator Service spoke provides actions to integrate with the Google translation service. Available actions include:
| Action | Description |
|---|---|
| Detect Language | Detects the language of the input text. |
| Translate Text To Single Language | Translates the input text to a single language. |
| Translate Text To Multiple Languages | Translates the input text to multiple languages. |
Google account requirements
The Google Cloud Translator Service spoke requires configuring your Google Cloud account to generate an OAuth 2.0 JWT Bearer Grant token.
Connection and credential alias requirements
Integration Hub uses aliases to manage connection and credential information, and OAuth credentials. Using an alias eliminates the need to configure multiple credentials and connection information profiles when using multiple environments. If the connection or credential information changes, you don't need to update any actions that use the connection.
This spoke uses the GoogleTranslation alias record (sn_google_trans.GoogleTranslation) to authorize actions. For information about setting up the spoke, see Set up the Google Cloud Translator Service spoke.
