How to translate text into multiple languages at once using Google Sheets:
In this method, I will tell you can translate text into multiple languages at once in Google Sheets. For it, I will simply use a built-in function of Google Sheets to translate a text in a cell to convert into multiple languages at once. By using this method you will be able to translate directly within Google Sheets or in a way create your own personalized translation tool. You just have to copy the Google Sheet formula where you will get the translation results. In the Google Sheet translation function, you will specify the cell address whose text you want to translate and the preferred language code in which you want to get it translated. After applying the function, you will automatically see the translated results in the cell you specified the function itself.
The syntax of the Google Sheet translation function is: =GOOGLETRANSLATE(Cell Address, “Source_Language_code”, “Target_Language_Code”). An example of it would be like this: =GOOGLETRANSLATE(A1, “en”, “it”) which will translate the text written in the cell A1 from English to the Italian language. If you are not aware of the Google search language codes, you can read the complete list here.
The trick involved in this method is that specify this Google Sheet translation function in different cells and for the language in which you want to get text translated. Let’s say you want to translate a text in 5 different languages at once, then specify GOOGLETRANSLATE function on 5 cells, one for each language separately, and in these different translations functions, specify a common cell for the specified text. After you have gone through this process, now just change the value in the target cell and you will see the output/translation results in multiple languages in cells you specified the Google Sheet translation function, as you can see in the GIF above.
