Description

Translate and localize content using DeepL and GPT-4o-mini

Managing high-quality translations across multiple languages often requires more than just machine translation; it requires cultural context and quality assurance. This workflow automates the entire pipeline, from initial translation to AI-driven quality scoring and cultural localization.

Who is this for?
Content Teams:** To automate the first draft and review process for blog posts or documentation.
Marketing Agencies:** To localize campaign copy for international markets quickly.
Product Managers:** To manage UI/UX copy across different regions with consistent glossary support.

How it works
Content Intake: A Webhook receives the source text and a list of target languages.
Language Detection & Validation: The workflow identifies the source language and validates the requested target codes.
Parallel Processing: Using the Split Out node, the workflow processes each target language simultaneously.
DeepL Translation: High-quality neural machine translation is performed for each language.
AI Quality Review: GPT-4o-mini acts as a professional linguist, scoring the translation on accuracy, fluency, and style, and flagging any issues.
Cultural Localization: A specialized node applies region-specific formatting for dates and currencies.
Aggregation & Reporting: All results are unified, logged to Google Sheets, emailed via Gmail, and returned as a JSON response to the initial requester.

How to set up
Credentials: Connect your DeepL API, OpenAI, Google Sheets, and Gmail accounts.
Google Sheets: Create a sheet with headers: Job ID, Source Text, Languages, Avg Quality, and Completed. Paste the Sheet ID into the Google Sheets node.
Webhook: Use the production URL in your CMS or app to trigger the workflow with a POST request.

Requirements
DeepL API Key** (Free or Pro)
OpenAI API Key** (for GPT-4o-mini)
Google Account** (for Sheets and Gmail)

How to customize
Adjust AI Rubric:** Modify the "AI Quality Review" prompt to focus on specific brand voice guidelines or technical terminology.
Glossary Support:** Update the DeepL node to include specific Glossary IDs for industry-specific jargon.
Localization Rules:** Add more regions or specific formatting rules (like measurement conversions) in the "Apply Localization" Code node.
