GitHub Action
Notion translator
This action will go through a Notion database (with specific fields), and translate a column for you.
First, you need to have an integration access token - which you can get from https://www.notion.so/my-integrations after creating an integration. Give the integration a friendly name like 'Github Actions'.
By default integrations cant access any content so you you must share your database (or the parent page / tree it is contained within) with the integration you created earlier to be able to access it.
This action expects a Notion database with the following properties, this will become the
- Input: text, multi-selection
- Result: text, multi-selection
- Status: checkbox
- Language: text
You can set the names of these columns to be whatever you like (see below).
You can see an example here: https://infinitaslearning.notion.site/Translator-3785106f94ab40d2ab4a607aec32e3b3
This is typically deployed as a scheduled action:

- name: Notion Translator
uses: infinitaslearning/notion-translator@main
with:

The Language
column is optional - only use it if the language can vary by row.
To get the database ID, simply browse to it, click on the '...' in Notion, and get a 'Copy link'. The GUID at the end of the URL (but before the ?v=
) is the id, this works on both embedded and full page databases.
You can translate multiple columns using comma separated lists of the same length for input and output:
field_to_translate: 'Input 1, Input 2'
field_to_translate_result: 'Result 1, Result 2'
Assumes you have @vercel/ncc
installed globally.
After changes ensure you npm run build
, commit and then submit a PR.
For the tests to run you need to have the environment variables set for GITHUB_TOKEN, NOTION_TOKEN and NOTION_DATABASE.
