Notis

Get a first translation pass for IoT interface strings

Turn supplied product strings into a machine-translation draft that your localization team can review.

Trigger

Webhook received

Notis starts this workflow when an external tool or custom backend sends an HTTP request.

Action

Create MT Translations

Translates text strings using machine translation.

Why this helps

Short interface strings often wait in a release queue while teams switch between device work and translation tools.

  • Request a first-pass translation for supplied strings.
  • Keep the source strings and requested target language together in the run context.
  • Give translators a draft to review instead of a blank starting point.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Adafruit IO and Crowdin once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and name it for interface translation drafts.
  • 3Tell Notis to use Crowdin Machine Translation for the strings and target language supplied in each request, and report missing inputs.
  • 4Pick the notis_webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real set of interface strings and a target language.

Questions about this workflow

Are translations ready to publish?

No. Machine translations are a starting draft and should be reviewed before use in a product.

What must the request include?

It must include the source strings and the intended target language. Notis should report missing details rather than assume them.

Does this monitor Adafruit IO feeds?

No. Adafruit IO has no listed trigger events in this workflow package. A webhook request starts the automation.
