In modern times, you can communicate with overseas contacts anytime using the internet. Therefore, there will be more opportunities to communicate with people other than Japanese.
However, the reality is that if not all team members are fluent in English, communication can be difficult.
This is where translation tools become necessary, but isn't it cumbersome to use a translator every time you receive a message from abroad?

This time, to avoid such hassle, we introduce the app integration of Chatwork and Slack using AI-operated translators!
It is expected to make daily communication smoother. Please take a look!

Benefits of Integrating Chatwork and Slack Using AI Operations

Benefit 1: Eliminate the hassle of translation

Messages posted on Chatwork are automatically translated and then automatically posted to Slack.
This eliminates the need for manual translation, allowing you to understand the content just by checking the messages posted on Slack. It can also be used when sending messages overseas, enabling smoother communication than ever before.
Furthermore, there is no need to use a translator, reducing the movement between different tools. It should also save time.

Benefit 2: Standardization of translation content

If there are differences in the translators used by each member, discrepancies may arise in the translated messages. Even slight differences in expressions can affect the message content, and not everyone may understand it in the same way.
Sometimes this can hinder work, so it's something you'd want to avoid if possible.
With this integration, it is possible to translate messages posted on Chatwork with the same translator each time, making it effective in reducing such risks.

AI機能を活用した自動化例

書類をOCR機能で読み取り保存する

Slackに投稿された書類をOCR機能で読み取りクラウドストレージに自動で保存したり、メールやフォームで送信された書類をOCR機能で読み取りデータベースに追加した後、Slackへ自動で通知したりします。

音声データを文字起こしして通知する

クラウドストレージに音声データがアップロードされたときや、Web会議が終了したときに音声ファイルを自動でAIで文字起こししてチャットツールに通知できます。

AIオペレーションを使用しChatworkとSlackを連携するメリット

メリット1: 翻訳の手間を省く

Chatworkに投稿されたメッセージが自動で翻訳され、さらにその翻訳がSlackへ自動投稿されます。
これにより手動で翻訳をする手間が省け、Slackに投稿されたメッセージを確認するだけで内容を理解することができるはずです。
また、海外へメッセージを送信する際にも活用できるので、これまで以上にスムーズなコミュニケーションが取れるようになるのではないでしょうか。
さらに、翻訳機を使用する必要が無くなることで、異なるツール間の移動を削減でき、時間の節約にもつながりますよ。

メリット2: 翻訳内容の統一化

各々のメンバーが使用する翻訳機に違いがあると、翻訳されたメッセージに差異が生まれてしまいますよね。
一部の表現の言い回しが異なるだけで、メッセージ内容が左右される可能性もあり、全員が同じ意味で理解することが難しい場面もあるのではないでしょうか。
それにより、業務に支障をきたす場合もあるはずです。なるべくであれば、こうした状況は避けたいですよね。
今回の連携では、Chatworkに投稿されたメッセージを毎回同じ翻訳機で翻訳するため、翻訳のブレを軽減する上でも有効ではないでしょうか。

まとめ

翻訳が自動で行われることで、手間を省き、業務フローの短縮につながります！
これにより時間を節約でき、他の業務に集中できるリソースが増えそうですね。
また、同じ翻訳機を使用しているので、メンバー全員がメッセージの内容を一貫して認識できるようになることも期待できます。
コミュニケーションの円滑化のためにも、ぜひ導入してみましょう！
