    • ServiceNow Language Detection Service spoke provides a single subflow and action to detect the language of the given text using the ServiceNow language detection service.

    The ServiceNow Language Detection Service spoke is an in-house language detection service offered by the ServiceNow platform.

    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 the Translator Configurations (sn_dt_translator_configuration) table. By default, this entry is active and marked as default for detection. You can opt to configure your own language detection service.
