    Key Features

    • Language Detection: Subflows and actions detect the language of input text automatically.
    • Text Translation: Supports translation of input text to a single language or multiple languages via dedicated subflows and actions.
    • Integration Hub Support: Utilizes aliases for managing OAuth 2.0 JWT Bearer Grant tokens and connection credentials, simplifying configuration across multiple environments.
    • Subscription Requirements: Requires a ServiceNow subscription at Professional level or higher with Dynamic Translation included, or an Integration Hub subscription.

    Practical Use and Setup

    To leverage this spoke, customers must configure their Google Cloud account to generate OAuth 2.0 JWT Bearer Grant tokens. Integration Hub aliases streamline credential management by avoiding repetitive updates across multiple actions or environments. The spoke uses the GoogleTranslation alias record for authorization.

    No sample flows are provided, but the spoke includes published subflows that can be embedded into custom flows, enabling flexible integration of translation and language detection capabilities.

    For comprehensive setup, refer to the guidance on integrating your Google Cloud account with your ServiceNow instance to enable seamless translation services.

    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.
