detail.loadingPreview
Effortlessly translate your Google Drive PDF documents into multiple languages using DeepL. This n8n workflow automates the entire process, from fetching files to sending translation requests and checking their status, ensuring your content is always globally accessible.
About This Workflow
Streamline your document translation workflow by automatically translating PDF files stored in Google Drive using the powerful DeepL API. This n8n workflow is designed for efficiency, intelligently identifying untranslated PDFs within a specified folder, downloading them, sending them to DeepL for accurate translation, and then polling for the completion status. It smartly skips files that have already been translated into the target language, preventing redundant work and optimizing API usage. Perfect for businesses operating in multiple languages or individuals needing a reliable, automated solution for quick, high-quality document translations.
Key Features
- Automated PDF Translation: Seamlessly translate PDF documents in bulk using the DeepL API.
- Google Drive Integration: Directly fetch and process files from a specified Google Drive folder.
- Intelligent Filtering: Automatically identifies and processes only untranslated PDF documents based on a configurable naming convention.
- Multi-Language Support: Configure source and target languages from a wide range of DeepL-supported options.
- Robust Status Monitoring: Includes polling and waiting mechanisms to ensure translations are complete before attempting to retrieve results.
How To Use

source_lang(e.g.,EN-US) andtarget_lang(e.g.,DE) using DeepL's supported language codes. - Customize Filtering (Optional): Adjust the conditions in the 'Use only PDF documents' node if your file naming convention for translated documents differs from the default.
