Execution Outputs​

  • Success (execution): Execution continues here if the request succeeded
  • Failed (execution): Execution continues here if the request failed

Variable Outputs​

  • Response (string): Full JSON response from the API
  • Text (string): The translated English text

Special Notes​

  • Translation always outputs English text, regardless of source language
