What This Workflow Does
This n8n workflow solves the time-consuming and expensive problem of manual video translation. Instead of hiring translators, voice actors, and video editors for each language, this automation connects directly to Rask AI's translation API to process videos from multiple sources automatically.
Whether you have training videos on Google Drive, marketing content on YouTube, or internal communications on Vimeo, this workflow can translate them into dozens of languages while preserving voice characteristics, tone, and context. The automation handles the entire process: uploading the video, waiting for processing, creating translation projects, and retrieving the final translated output ready for distribution.
For businesses expanding globally, content creators building multilingual audiences, or organizations needing accessible training materials, this automation reduces translation costs by 90%+ and cuts turnaround time from weeks to hours.
How It Works
Step 1: Video Source Input
The workflow accepts video URLs from supported sources including YouTube, Google Drive, Amazon S3, Vimeo, or direct links. You can trigger it manually, schedule regular translations, or connect it to other systems that generate video content.
Step 2: Authentication & Upload
Using OAuth2 authentication with Rask AI, the workflow securely uploads your video to their processing platform. The system validates credentials and prepares the media for translation while maintaining data security throughout the transfer.
Step 3: Translation Processing
Rask AI's advanced AI analyzes the video content, transcribes speech, translates the text while preserving context, and generates new audio with voice cloning technology that matches the original speaker's characteristics and emotional tone.
Step 4: Status Monitoring & Retrieval
The workflow includes intelligent waiting and status checking to monitor translation progress. Once complete, it automatically retrieves the translated video file and makes it available for download or forwards it to your preferred storage or distribution channels.
Pro tip: Combine this workflow with content management systems or learning platforms to automatically publish translated videos to different regional channels, creating a fully automated multilingual content pipeline.
Who This Is For
This automation is ideal for e-learning companies creating courses for international students, global SaaS businesses producing tutorial and onboarding content, marketing agencies serving clients with multinational audiences, and enterprise training departments with diverse, multilingual workforces.
Content creators on platforms like YouTube, TikTok, or educational platforms can scale their reach without proportional increases in production costs. Non-profits and governmental organizations can make important information accessible to broader communities regardless of language barriers.
What You'll Need
- Rask AI Account: You'll need API access with OAuth2 credentials (Client ID and Client Secret) from your Rask account settings.
- n8n Instance: Either self-hosted n8n or n8n.cloud account with workflow execution capabilities.
- Video Sources: Accessible video URLs from supported platforms (YouTube, Google Drive, S3, Vimeo, or direct links).
- Target Languages: Determine which languages you need translations for, ensuring they're supported by Rask AI's language options.
- Storage Destination: A place to store translated videos (cloud storage, CMS, or distribution platforms).
Quick Setup Guide
1. Download the template using the button above and import it into your n8n instance.
2. Configure Rask AI authentication in n8n under the name "raskOAuth2" using your Client ID and Secret from app.rask.ai/account.
3. Set your video URL and target language in the workflow trigger or input nodes (e.g., "en-us" for US English).
4. Test with sample values: Use link: "https://static.rask.ai/samples/sample_1.mp4" and dst_lang: "en-us" to verify the full translation cycle.
5. Connect output nodes to your storage or distribution systems (Google Drive, YouTube, CMS, etc.) to automate the entire pipeline.
Key Benefits
Reduce translation costs by 95%: A 10-minute video that might cost $2,000-$5,000 for professional translation can be processed for under $50 with automated AI translation.
Scale content production exponentially: Translate dozens of videos simultaneously instead of waiting weeks for human translators to process them sequentially.
Maintain brand consistency across languages: AI voice cloning preserves speaker characteristics and emotional tone, ensuring your message resonates authentically in every language.
Accelerate global market entry: Launch products, campaigns, and training materials in multiple markets simultaneously rather than staggering releases by language.
Automate entire content pipelines: Connect video translation to your CMS, learning platforms, or social media schedulers for completely hands-off multilingual content distribution.
