The problem it solves

Translating documents for international teams or customers takes hours of manual work, and it is easy to lose track of which version has been translated into which language. You end up copying text into translation tools one file and one language at a time.

Who it fits

Content teams, international businesses, and agencies that need documents translated into several languages regularly.

How it works

  1. A new document is added to a watched Google Drive folder
  2. The system reads the file and extracts its text
  3. DeepL translates the content into each language you have chosen
  4. Each translated version is saved with its own file name
  5. You get an email confirming the translations are ready
What you get

Documents ready in every language your team needs

You get documents translated into all the languages you choose the moment they land in your Google Drive folder.

What you get

A set of translated document files saved to Google Drive, one per language.

What you need

A Google Drive account, a DeepL API key, and a Gmail account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
