What it does

Every inbound Front conversation gets its language detected automatically. The workflow runs a Hugging Face language-identification model over the message body, writes both the detected language and an English translation back to the conversation as a private comment, and moves the ticket into the inbox staffed by agents who speak that language.

When to use it

You run a single shared support inbox but have agents grouped by language skill (Spanish, German, Japanese, etc.). Without this, multilingual tickets sit unread until someone who can read them stumbles in. Use it to cut first-response time on non-English tickets.

How it works

  1. 1A new Front conversation triggers the flow.
  2. 2The message body is sent to a Hugging Face language-detection model, returning an ISO language code and confidence.
  3. 3A branch checks confidence: high-confidence non-English routes onward; low-confidence or English stays in the default queue.
  4. 4The body is translated to English via a Hugging Face translation model.
  5. 5The translation is posted as a private comment on the conversation.
  6. 6The conversation is assigned to the inbox mapped to the detected language and tagged with that language.
