The system uses Claude AI via API to translate articles and deliver a ranked daily briefing to the user's inbox. An IF filter reduces API costs by approximately 60%, and Try/Catch nodes ensure individual RSS feed failures don't halt the entire process.", "body_md": "Japan's AI scene moves fast — but almost everything is in Japanese.\n\nI built an n8n workflow that runs every morning at 7 AM, scrapes the top Japanese AI news, translates each article using Claude AI, and delivers a clean English briefing to my inbox. Total cost: **$0.03 per run**.\n\nHere's exactly how I built it.\n\nI follow Japanese AI research closely, but manually translating 10+ articles every morning was killing my time. I needed automation.\n\n```\nSchedule Trigger (7 AM daily)\n→ HTTP Request (fetch RSS feeds from Japanese AI sources)\n→ Split in Batches (process each article)\n→ IF node (filter: published today only)\n→ HTTP Request (Claude API - translate + summarize)\n→ Code node (parse JSON response, format output)\n→ Gmail (send ranked daily briefing)\n```\n\nI use Claude's API via HTTP Request node. The prompt is structured to return JSON:\n\n```\n{\n  \"title_en\": \"...\",\n  \"summary_en\": \"...\",\n  \"importance_score\": 8,\n  \"tags\": [\"LLM\", \"robotics\"]\n}\n```\n\nBefore hitting the AI node, I added an IF filter:\n\nThis cut my Claude API costs by ~60%.\n\nEach source runs through its own Try/Catch node. If one RSS feed fails, the others continue. The Gmail summary flags partial runs automatically.\n\nThe full n8n workflow JSON is available in my [Gumroad starter pack](https://shokiwork.gumroad.com/l/vazfgc) — it's part of the 5-workflow bundle for $9.\n\nI'm building a v2 that scores articles by relevance to my specific interests (AI agents, automation tools) and only sends the top 5. Fewer emails, higher signal.\n\n*This article was originally published on Kaizen Automation — weekly n8n & AI automation workflows, filtered through Japanese precision.*", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/the-n8n-workflow-i-built-to-auto-translate-japanese-ai-news-into-english-every-0", "canonical_source": "https://dev.to/kaizenautomation/the-n8n-workflow-i-built-to-auto-translate-japanese-ai-news-into-english-every-morning-003run-1po6", "published_at": "2026-06-04 05:51:13+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-06-04 06:12:33.809393+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-tools", "ai-agents", "large-language-models", "natural-language-processing", "ai-research"], "entities": ["n8n", "Claude AI", "Gumroad", "Shokiwork"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/the-n8n-workflow-i-built-to-auto-translate-japanese-ai-news-into-english-every-0", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/the-n8n-workflow-i-built-to-auto-translate-japanese-ai-news-into-english-every-0.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/the-n8n-workflow-i-built-to-auto-translate-japanese-ai-news-into-english-every-0.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/the-n8n-workflow-i-built-to-auto-translate-japanese-ai-news-into-english-every-0.jsonld"}}
