    This spoke requires a Professional or higher ServiceNow subscription that includes Dynamic Translation, or an Integration Hub subscription. It leverages the Google Translate API version v3 and requires configuration of a Google Cloud account with OAuth 2.0 JWT Bearer Grant token authentication.

    Key Features

    • Subflows: Two published subflows available for reuse:
      • Detect Language: Inputs, actions, and outputs to identify the language of provided text.
      • Translate Text To Multiple Languages: Inputs, actions, and outputs to translate text into multiple target languages.
    • Actions: Three main actions that can be called in flows:
      • Detect Language: Detects the language of input text.
      • Translate Text To Single Language: Translates text to one specified language.
      • Translate Text To Multiple Languages: Translates text to several languages simultaneously.
    • Connection and Credential Management: Uses Integration Hub aliases to manage Google Cloud connection and OAuth credential details, simplifying multi-environment management and minimizing the need for repetitive updates across flows.

    Practical Implementation

    To implement this spoke, ServiceNow customers must:

    • Install the Google Cloud Translator Service spoke from the ServiceNow Store.
    • Activate the Dynamic Translation plugin.
    • Configure their Google Cloud account to generate the required OAuth 2.0 JWT Bearer Grant token.
    • Set up the GoogleTranslation alias for connection authorization within Integration Hub.

    Once configured, customers can incorporate language detection and translation capabilities into their custom flows, enabling enhanced multilingual support and automation within their ServiceNow environment.

    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.
