Tutorial 008: How to Automate Email Translation Efficiently

Working in an international setting can be really hard sometimes. Why? Because we might not share a common language with some people which can complicate the interaction and even business between companies and individuals. Even though we now have translators that make can solve this situations, it can be time-consuming to copy and paste conversations into the translator. For this same reason, we have come up with a way to automate the translation of emails with our Translate feature. In this blog, we would like to show how this feature can be integrated into your workflow.

Setting Up the Translate Module

First, we sign up or log into one automation platform where this feature is available (Make, Zapier, n8n, Workato, and Integrately).

Then, we need to start with an email provider, such as Gmail or Outlook and choose the feature "Watch Emails" or "Watch Messages". To set it up, we need to fill in some fields. For example, what type of emails we want to watch, where are these emails, etc.

Next, we need to integrate a 0CodeKit module with the feature "Detect the Language in a Text with NLP AI" in order to detect the language in the selected emails (based on the criteria set in the email provider module).

Afterwards, we need to integrate another 0CodeKit module with the feature "Translate a Text" to translate the selected emails.

Note: In order for the automation to work properly, we need to set up a filter that will only allow emails to be translated if they are not in our chosen language.

Finally, with an Email module from Make with the feature "Send an Email" we will send the translated emails to our email address. We need to fill in some fields, like to which email address we want to send the translated text, if we want the translated text to be plain text or a HTML format, and we need to enter the icon "Translation" into the "Content" field.

Final Thoughts

Stop translating emails manually and wasting so much time! Use our Translate feature instead.
