If You Want to Automate DeepL Translation Starting from Slack
Translate Messages Posted on Slack with DeepL and Post to Another Channel
Automatically translate messages posted on Slack with DeepL and post them to another channel. For example, a message written in Japanese will be translated and posted in English in the English channel, enabling smooth real-time communication even in multilingual teams. This eliminates the hassle of manual translation, speeds up work, and allows communication without language barriers, facilitating stress-free conversations in global teams.
Translate Slack Messages with Specific Keywords Using DeepL and Post to Another Channel
Instead of translating all messages, only those containing specific keywords are translated using DeepL and posted to another channel. By setting keywords like "important" or "meeting," you can pick up only the truly necessary information. This reduces unnecessary translations, organizes information, and lessens the team's burden. You can maintain translation accuracy while expecting more efficient communication.
Other Automation Examples Using Slack and DeepL API
In addition to integration with Slack, it is possible to automate various tasks using the DeepL API. If you find something interesting, please feel free to give it a try!
Convenient Automation Examples Using DeepL

This can lead to speedy information sharing and improved response accuracy. Especially for those involved in multinational team interactions or business with overseas partners, the benefits of reducing the burden of manual translation while quickly exchanging information are significant.
