[G Suite Tips] Translating text in Google Sheets

If you want to translate words or phrases from one language to another, you’ll probably use Google Translate. But what will you do if you need to translate a batch of words in spreadsheets? Keep switching back and forth between Google Translate and Spreadsheets? 

In fact, translating words in Google Sheets is as simple as inputting a formula. Here’s the formula:

=GOOGLETRANSLATE(“text”, “source language”, “target language”)

text: the text you want to translate

* The value for text must either be enclosed in quotation marks or be a reference to a cell containing the appropriate text.

source language: the language being translated from

*Please use the two-letter language code, e.g. “zh-TW” for Traditional Chinese or “en” for English.

target language: the language being translated to

* Please use the two-letter language code, e.g. “zh-TW” for Traditional Chinese or “en” for English.
