Translate, detect, and localise content across 109 languages

CommunicationProductivityDocumentsDeveloperAIAutomation

LingvaNex is a machine translation API that supports over 109 languages with neural machine translation, document translation, language detection, transliteration, dictionary lookup, and phrase lookup. It processes text, HTML, and full document files and deletes all submitted data immediately after translation — making it suitable for sensitive content. Connect LingvaNex to Actionist and your agents can translate inbound support tickets, localise marketing content into multiple languages in a single batch call, detect the language of any input and route it accordingly, and translate full document files without losing formatting or structure.

Multilingual support ticket translated at arrival

When a support ticket arrives in any language, the agent detects the source language, translates the body to English, and posts the translation as an internal note — the triage team reads the customer's message in English within about a minute of arrival, then the reply is translated back before sending.

What your team gets back — two angles: what you stop doing manually, and what that's worth.

What you do manually today

With Actionist

What your agent runs for you

  • Sales
    20 min / week
    Manual lead translation before outreach

    Reps copy foreign-language lead notes into a translation tool, translate them manually, and paste the English version back into the CRM before they can act on the lead.

    Sales Agent
    0 min
    Agent translates and enriches international leads on arrival

    When a non-English lead lands in the CRM, the agent detects the language, translates all fields to English, and adds a romanized name — the rep has a fully readable contact record within about a minute.

  • Marketing
    90 min / week
    Manual localisation handoff to vendors

    The marketing team sends content to a localisation vendor or runs copy through a translation tool language by language, manually formatting each version before uploading to the CMS.

    Marketing Agent
    0 min
    Agent localises content into four languages in one batch run

    When a blog post or email template is approved, the agent batches it through LingvaNex and delivers four localised drafts to the CMS staging area without a human involved in the translation step.

  • Customer Support
    30 min / week
    Manual ticket translation or specialist routing

    Support agents either copy ticket text into a translation tool and translate manually, or wait for a language-specialist agent to become available — adding resolution time for every non-English ticket.

    Customer Support Agent
    0 min
    Agent translates every inbound ticket before the first agent reads it

    Every non-English ticket is detected and translated within about a minute of arrival, appearing in the support queue with an English internal note so the team reads and responds without a language barrier.

  • Human Resources
    40 min / week
    Manual per-hire onboarding localisation

    HR manually translates or arranges translation of onboarding documents for each non-English-speaking hire, a process that often delays the new hire's readiness before day one.

    Human Resources Agent
    0 min
    Agent generates a localised onboarding pack per new hire automatically

    When a new hire is added to the onboarding tracker, the agent detects their language and translates the full onboarding pack, saving it to their folder before their start date — no HR manual intervention.

  • Finance
    25 min / week
    Manual translation of foreign vendor documents

    The finance team manually translates invoice PDFs line by line using a translation tool, or waits for a bilingual team member to be available, delaying invoice processing and risking late payment penalties.

    Finance Agent
    0 min
    Agent translates foreign invoices and routes them to accounts payable on arrival

    When a foreign-language vendor invoice arrives, the agent translates the email body and the attached document and posts both to the accounts payable Slack channel — processing begins the day the invoice arrives.

  • Operations
    30 min / week
    Single English digest with no localisation

    The ops team sends a single English digest and relies on non-English-speaking regional teams to self-translate or ask a bilingual colleague, resulting in delayed comprehension and missed context.

    Operations Agent
    0 min
    Agent distributes a multilingual ops digest to every regional team automatically

    The weekly ops summary is translated into each regional team's language and posted to their Slack channel every Friday, so every team receives the same information in their working language without any manual distribution effort.

  • Legal
    60 min / week
    Manual legal translation or external vendor engagement

    Legal requests translations from an external vendor or internal bilingual resource, a process that typically takes 24–72 hours and creates a backlog whenever multiple foreign documents arrive in the same week.

    Legal Agent
    0 min
    Agent translates and files foreign legal documents on the day they arrive

    When a foreign-language contract or regulatory document arrives, the agent translates it using the approved legal glossary, saves the translation alongside the original, and notifies counsel with a direct link — same-day review is the default.

FAQs

Questions about LingvaNex + Actionist

How does Actionist connect to LingvaNex?
Go to the Apps tab in Actionist, find LingvaNex, and click Connect. You will need an API key from your LingvaNex account — log into lingvanex.com, navigate to your account dashboard, and generate an API key under the API section. Paste the key into the API key field in Actionist and click Test connection. Actionist runs a live Detect Language call to confirm the key is valid before any translation actions run.
How many languages does LingvaNex support and which ones can I translate between?
LingvaNex supports over 109 languages in its cloud translation API. The full list is retrievable via the List Supported Languages action. For on-premise deployments, the language set may differ depending on the installed language pack. Common pairs include English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Arabic, Russian, Portuguese, Italian, Korean, and dozens more. The API also supports HTML translation and automatic source language detection, so you do not need to specify the source language unless you want to.
How is LingvaNex priced and does it store my translated content?
LingvaNex charges $5 per million characters translated via its cloud API, with bulk discounts available for high-volume usage. There is also an on-premise server option starting at $10 per day for organizations that require data to stay inside their own infrastructure. LingvaNex explicitly deletes all submitted text immediately after translation is complete — no data is stored on their servers — which can be important for compliance-sensitive content like legal documents or customer PII. GDPR and CCPA compliance are built in.
What are the most common things agents do with LingvaNex?
The most common agent uses are: (1) multilingual customer support — translating inbound support tickets from any language to English so agents can respond, then translating replies back before sending; (2) content localisation — translating marketing copy, blog posts, or product descriptions into target-market languages; (3) internal cross-border communication — translating Slack messages or emails between teams in different regions; (4) document processing — translating uploaded documents as part of a larger pipeline before they are processed or stored; (5) lead enrichment — translating form submissions or CRM notes from non-English prospects before routing to the sales team.
Does LingvaNex detect the source language automatically, or do I have to specify it?
Yes. The Translate Text action accepts a `from` parameter for the source language, but if you omit it or pass `auto`, LingvaNex auto-detects the source language before translating. You can also call the Detect Language action separately as a prior step, which returns the detected language code and a confidence score — useful when you want to log the source language alongside the translation or route different languages to different downstream handlers.
Can I combine LingvaNex with other apps in the same workflow?
Yes. Actionist can connect LingvaNex with any other app in the same scheduled agent task. Typical multi-app scenarios: translate a Notion page and write the translation back to a new Notion page; pull a row from Google Sheets, translate the text column, and write back a translated column; receive a Slack message in French, translate it, and post the English version to a second channel; translate a CRM note from HubSpot and append it to the original record. LingvaNex is typically a middle step — another app triggers the work, LingvaNex does the translation, and a third app stores the result.
What are the dictionary lookup and transliteration features useful for?
LingvaNex's dictionary API returns word definitions, synonyms, and usage examples in a given language — useful for building glossary entries, checking terminology, or validating that a translated term matches the intended meaning. The Transliterate action converts text from one script to another (for example, romanizing Japanese katakana or converting Arabic script to Latin characters) without translating the meaning — useful for preparing proper nouns, names, or product titles for audiences who can read a different script.
Does LingvaNex offer an on-premise option for sensitive data?
LingvaNex offers both cloud (SaaS API) and on-premise deployment. The cloud API is the standard path and requires only an API key; data leaves your network and is deleted by LingvaNex after processing. On-premise lets you self-host the translation engine on your own servers so text never leaves your infrastructure — suitable for regulated industries (healthcare, legal, finance) or organizations with strict data residency requirements. Actionist connects to the cloud API; for on-premise, you would configure the base URL to point to your own LingvaNex server endpoint.
