Translation Scope Calculator

Translation projects get budgeted wrong because scope isn't clear upfront. This automation looks up all language codes the moment you create an internationalization project--giving your team and vendors exact scope for accurate timelines and quotes.

Trigger

Project Created

Fires when a new Linear project is created. Covers projects in both public and private teams — polls with the connected user's token, so visibility matches what the connected user can see in Linear.

Action

Google Languages

Tool to retrieve google-supported languages. use when you need a list of language codes for localization.

Why this helps

Translation budgets blow up because language scope was vague at project start

  • Language scope automatically defined when projects are created
  • Vendors get clear scope for accurate quotes
  • Budget planning based on actual language count
  • Fewer scope-change requests and budget overruns

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Linear and Autom to Notis
  • 2Ask Notis: 'When an internationalization or i18n project is created, look up the language codes we need to support'
  • 3Use 'Project Created' as your trigger
  • 4Choose where language scope data is shared
  • 5Test by creating an i18n project and verify language list appears

Questions about this workflow

How do I estimate translation cost from this?

Give your vendor the language list. Most charge per-language, so multiply languages by their per-language rate.

Can I update language scope mid-project?

Yes. Ask Notis to recalculate scope anytime and it will show cost impact of adding languages.

Does this account for different content types?

Notis focuses on language codes. You'll add estimates for how much content in each language separately.
