TwosDays - Allison Google Translate in Sheets


Translating to other languages can be fast and easy! (Or should I say "Rapido y facil" or... "Rapide et facile" or... "高速かつ簡単に"?!)  Right within Google Sheets you can easily translate words and phrases into more than 60 world languages with this simple formula.



=GoogleTranslate("Cell you want to translate", "source language","target language")



Example: =GoogleTranslate("A2", "en","es")

Here is a link to all the supported languages & their "codes."



This feature offers a lot of great opportunities in the classroom...

-ELL student support with assignments or text (think difficult or unknown vocabulary)

-Students collaborating in World Language courses to build and share live vocabulary lists.

-Globally connect with professionals and resources!

-Develop interview questions to talk with authentic experts in the field of topics you are discussing in class without language being a barrier!



If you need help with this feature, other formulas in Google Sheets, or anything else, come on by the HOTSpot!
