How does this automation work?
Bardeen's playbook offers a simple solution for translating the contents of an email into a different language directly from your inbox. With the multitude of languages encountered in global business communication, this tool can be a significant time-saver. It allows you to quickly understand and respond to emails from international clients or team members without leaving your email client or using a separate translation service.
Here's how you can translate email text using this workflow:
- Step 1: Identify Open Email - Bardeen uses Gmail's capability to track email threads to find the currently opened email and select the body text.
- Step 2: Translate Email Body - The selected text is then sent to DeepL, a powerful translation service, where it's translated into your target language. Specify the language you need, and Bardeen will display the translated text on your screen.
How to run the workflow
Have you ever found yourself struggling to understand an email that was written in a foreign language? Maybe you've had to copy and paste the text into a translation tool, or even worse, ask a friend to help you decipher it. Well, with this automation, those days are over.
By simply running this automation, you can quickly and easily translate the body of the currently opened email into your desired language, all without ever leaving your inbox. No more wasting time copying and pasting text or trying to decipher confusing foreign languages. This automation makes it easier than ever to communicate with people from all around the world.
This automation is perfect for anyone who frequently receives emails in languages they don't understand or who wants to expand their global communication. Whether you're a business owner looking to expand your customer base or simply someone who wants to connect with people from different cultures, this automation can help you save time and streamline your communication.
