Google Drive PDF Auto Translator with DeepL - n8n Automation Template

This workflow automatically translates PDF documents stored in a Google Drive folder using the DeepL API. Once new PDFs are detected, they are downloaded, translated into the target language, and re-uploaded back into the same folder with a language suffix in the filename.

It’s a seamless way to localize documents without manual intervention, making it ideal for businesses, teams, or individuals handling multilingual content.
