    To use this spoke, it must be installed from the ServiceNow Store and requires activation of the Dynamic Translation plugin. It supports ServiceNow subscriptions at the Professional level or higher that include Dynamic Translation, or an Integration Hub subscription.

    Key Features

    • Language Detection: The spoke provides a subflow and action to detect the language of the input text.
    • Text Translation: It supports translating text to a single language or multiple languages via dedicated subflows and actions.
    • Subflows: Two published subflows—Detect Language and Translate Text To Multiple Languages—can be embedded within other flows for flexible integration.
    • Actions: Includes actions for detecting language, translating text to a single language, and translating text to multiple languages, facilitating granular control in workflows.
    • Connection Management: Uses Integration Hub aliases (specifically the GoogleTranslation alias) for managing OAuth 2.0 JWT Bearer Grant credentials, streamlining credential management across environments.

    Implementation Requirements

    • A Google Cloud account configured to generate OAuth 2.0 JWT Bearer Grant tokens is required for authentication.
    • Proper setup of connection and credential aliases in Integration Hub is necessary to authorize spoke actions without needing repeated configurations.
    • Ensure the spoke is installed and the Dynamic Translation plugin is active before use.

    What Customers Can Expect

    ServiceNow customers deploying this spoke can seamlessly incorporate Google’s translation services into their workflows. This enables automated, dynamic language detection and translation capabilities across multiple languages, enhancing multilingual support and user experience. The spoke’s integration with Integration Hub aliases simplifies credential management and promotes efficient maintenance across environments.

    Provides subflows and actions to dynamically translate the user-entered text, and to detect the language of the text using the Google translation service.

    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.
