🧠 How it works
This workflow enables automatic translation in Slack using n8n and OpenAI.
When a user types /trans followed by text, n8n detects the language and replies with the translated version via Slack.
⚙️ Features
- Detects the input language automatically
- Translates between Japanese ↔ English using GPT-4o-mini (temperature 0.2 for stability)
- Sends a quick “Translating...” acknowledgement to avoid Slack’s 3s timeout
- Posts the translated text back to Slack (public or private selectable)
- Supports overrides like
en: こんにちは or ja: hello
💡 Perfect for
- Global teams communicating in Japanese and English
- Developers learning how to connect Slack + OpenAI + n8n
