How to connect Kintone and Google Cloud Translate
Create a New Scenario to Connect Kintone and Google Cloud Translate
In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.

Add the First Step
Add the first node – a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a Kintone, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Kintone or Google Cloud Translate will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Kintone or Google Cloud Translate, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Kintone, Google Cloud Translate, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.
Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the Kintone and Google Cloud Translate integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Kintone and Google Cloud Translate (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Kintone and Google Cloud Translate
Kintone + Google Cloud Translate + Slack: When a new record is created in Kintone, the text content is translated into a specified language using Google Cloud Translate. The translated text is then sent as a message to a designated Slack channel, enabling global teams to understand Kintone entries in their preferred language.
Google Sheets + Google Cloud Translate + Kintone: When a new row is added to Google Sheets, the text from a specific column is translated using Google Cloud Translate. This translated text, along with the original data, is then used to create a new record in Kintone. This also updates the Google Sheets row with a comment indicating the Kintone record ID for tracking.
