# Language Detection spoke

# Language Detection spoke {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Australia  
Updated March 12, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
The ServiceNow Language Detection Service spoke is an in-house language detection service offered by the ServiceNow platform. It provides a single subflow and action to identify the language of a given text.

The ServiceNow Language Detection Service spoke plugin
(com.glide.language_detection_spoke) is available with the activation of Dynamic Translation plugin (com.glide.dynamic_translation).

This spoke creates an entry named ServiceNow in Dynamic Translation's Translator Configurations (sn_dt_translator_configuration) table. By default, this entry is active and marked as default for detection. To configure your own language detection service, see [Integration with other translation services](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/21xR7y~C4VM9ApPihbD0pA "Enable machine translation on your instance by integrating third-party translator services with Dynamic Translation. You can configure one or more translation service providers of your choice.").

## Subscription {#in-house-language-detection__section_ywf_rty_vnb}

above, and includes Dynamic Translation.
