This n8n workflow automates the process of monitoring a Google Drive folder for new files, downloading them, sending them for translation via Straker Verify, and then saving the translated files back to Google Drive while notifying team members via Slack. The workflow streamlines translation workflows, reducing manual effort by integrating cloud storage, translation services, and team notifications.

The process begins with the ‘Watch Input Folder’ node, which listens for new files added to a specified Google Drive folder, triggering the workflow. Once triggered, the ‘Download Files’ node retrieves the uploaded file from Google Drive. The file is then sent to Straker Verify for translation through the ‘Start Translation’ node, where project details and target languages are specified.

An optional webhook node (‘Wait for Completion’) listens for notification from Straker Verify upon translation completion, or alternatively, the workflow can poll for job status using ‘Fetch Job Info’. Once translation is complete, the ‘Grab Translation’ node fetches the translated file. This file is then saved to a designated output folder in Google Drive by the ‘Save to Output Folder’ node. Finally, the workflow sends a notification message via Slack, informing relevant team members that the translation is ready.

This automation is ideal for content teams needing swift, consistent translation workflows for documents, websites, or other files, improving efficiency and communication in multilingual projects.
