MagicAiFlow’s Perspective: Translation Should Be a Workflow, Not a Headcount Problem
You don’t need to hire more people. You need smarter workflows.

- AI tools are accurate enough: DeepL, GPT-4, and KUDO deliver professional results.
- AI agents can route requests: Detect language, translate, and respond—automatically.
This isn’t magic. It’s intelligent automation.

Thoughts from Mario
I’ve worked with businesses across industries — from eCommerce to SaaS to logistics — and here’s what I see: most teams are still treating translation like a people problem. It’s not. It’s a process problem.
If you’re running a Shopify store in the U.S. and want to enter Mexico or France, you don’t need to hire local teams. You need a Make.com workflow connected to DeepL and your CRM. That’s it. If you’re a B2B agency, you can onboard clients in their native language using GPT-4 agents trained on your service docs. We’ve implemented this for teams of 3–5 people. It works.
The businesses winning in 2025 are the ones who stop asking “Who do we hire?” and start asking “What can we automate?”
Build once. Scale globally.
