    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.
