Lola language detection and translations

Lola Language

AI-generated

Overview

The Lola Language node provides language processing capabilities within n8n workflows. It supports three main operations: detecting the language of a given text, translating text to another language, and (planned but not yet implemented) rephrasing text while keeping its meaning. This node is useful for automating multilingual workflows, such as auto-detecting user input language, translating messages or documents, and preparing content for international audiences.

Practical examples:

  • Automatically detect the language of customer support tickets.
  • Translate incoming emails or chat messages into a preferred language.
  • (Future) Rephrase marketing copy for variety in communication.

Properties

Name Meaning
Operation The action to perform:
- Detect Language: Detect the language of a text
- Translate: Translate a text
- Rephrase: Rephrase a text (not implemented)
Input Text The text to be processed.
Target Language Code The target language code (2 letters, e.g., "es" for Spanish). Required when using the "Translate" operation.
Source Language Code The source language code (2 letters, optional). Used for translation if you want to specify the original language.
Metadata Additional metadata as key-value pairs to include with the translation request. Only available for the "Translate" operation.

Output

  • The output will contain all original fields from the input item, plus an additional field:
    • lola_lang_response: An object containing the result of the selected operation.
      • For Detect Language: Contains the detected language information.
      • For Translate: Contains the translated text and possibly other related data.
      • For Rephrase: Not implemented; attempting this will throw an error.
  • No binary data is produced by this node.

Dependencies

  • May require a credential named lolaKeyApi if authentication is needed (optional).
  • Relies on external functions for language detection and translation (from bundled dependencies).

Troubleshooting

  • "Rephrase is not implemented yet": Attempting to use the "Rephrase" operation will result in an error. Use only "Detect Language" or "Translate".
  • Missing required property: If "Target Language Code" is not provided for translation, the node may fail.
  • Invalid language codes: Ensure that language codes are valid two-letter ISO codes.
  • API/credential issues: If the underlying service requires authentication, ensure credentials are configured correctly.
