FAQPage Schema
How do I translate text between languages automatically?

To translate text automatically, provide the text string and set the source language to auto for language detection. The Skill requires a translation backend API like LibreTranslate and returns the translated text along with detected language details.

Can I use automatic language detection when localizing multilingual content?

Automatic language detection is supported for multilingual content localization by setting source_lang to auto. The Skill identifies the source language and returns the target language translation, requiring a backend API like LibreTranslate to process the text.

Does text translation work with short messages and simple documents?

Text translation works with short texts, paragraphs, and simple documents across various language pairs. You provide the input text and target language, and the Skill returns the translated text through a connected translation API backend.

Do I need an external API to translate text within my workflows?

An external translation API backend, such as LibreTranslate, is required to translate text within workflows. The Skill processes the provided text and languages through this backend and returns the translated text for downstream use.

What is the best way to automate multilingual communication for user messages?

Automating multilingual communication for user messages is done by passing the message text to this Skill with specified target languages. It uses a translation backend API to return translated text and detected source languages for bilingual assistant workflows.

Why does my translated text return an error without a translation backend?

Translated text returns an error without a translation backend because the Skill requires an API, such as LibreTranslate, to process language pairs. It relies on this external dependency to detect source languages and output translated text.
