    Translate Text To Multiple Languages Contains a set of inputs, actions, and outputs to translate the input text to multiple languages.

    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.

    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.
