Is there an online resource to translate a word into all foreign languages? You could manually look up a word in Google Translate. But don’t you want an online dictionary that can translate in all languages?
Good news. Google Sheets has a function for Google Translate! You can set up a sheet with a function for each language and then have it automatically translate one word into all languages.
In cell A1, put your single word/phrase in English. In cell B1, enter the following:
=GoogleTranslate(A1, “en”, “fr”)
That “fr” part does the translation for French. For the other 90 languages in Google Translate, here are the codes:
| af: Afrikaans sq: Albanian ar: Arabic hy: Armenian az: Azerbaijani eu: Basque be: Belarusian bn: Bengali bs: Bosnian bg: Bulgarian ca: Catalan ceb: Cebuano ny: Chichewa zh-CN: Chinese hr: Croatian cs: Czech da: Danish nl: Dutch en: English eo: Esperanto et: Estonian tl: Filipino fi: Finnish fr: French gl: Galician ka: Georgian de: German el: Greek gu: Gujarati | ht: Haitian Creole ha: Hausa iw: Hebrew hi: Hindi hmn: Hmong hu: Hungarian is: Icelandic ig: Igbo id: Indonesian ga: Irish it: Italian ja: Japanese jw: Javanese kn: Kannada kk: Kazakh km: Khmer ko: Korean lo: Lao la: Latin lv: Latvian lt: Lithuanian mk: Macedonian mg: Malagasy ms: Malay ml: Malayalam mt: Maltese mi: Maori mr: Marathi mn: Mongolian my: Myanmar (Burmese) ne: Nepali | no: Norwegian fa: Persian pl: Polish pt: Portuguese pa: Punjabi ro: Romanian ru: Russian sr: Serbian st: Sesotho si: Sinhala sk: Slovak sl: Slovenian so: Somali es: Spanish su: Sundanese sw: Swahili sv: Swedish tg: Tajik ta: Tamil te: Telugu th: Thai tr: Turkish uk: Ukrainian ur: Urdu uz: Uzbek vi: Vietnamese cy: Welsh yi: Yiddish yo: Yoruba zu: Zulu |
When you have a spreadsheet that can automatically do translations like that, you can make blog posts like, “How to say “honeymoon” in 65 languages.
How will you use the Google Translate function in Google Sheets?
