translating Content

Andrew Henderson

Hi all,

Looking for any ideas, I am working on a sheet that is being used in 10 countries, currently, we use English as the main language, however, content can get lost in translation.  is there any way for users to use their home language on a sheet and then translate it into English on a master sheet.

I have looked at Zapier but this is very unstable

All ideas welcome!!!

Thanks

Hi Andrew,

I have a few ideas, but I would want some more information. Can you describe the process in more detail and maybe provide some screenshots?

I hope this helps you!

Hi Andree

We have a sheet that has a series of actions that each county need to carry out, these are then collated onto one master sheet all of this is done in English. which cause an issue as context gets lost in translation.

What I am looking to do is each country updates their tasks in the mother language, then translated to English on the master sheet. 

All ideas  welcome

What I've done previously is to set up a Google Sheet with an automatic translation formula, but you would probably need to go thru the translation afterward because it's translated with the help of Google Translate.

Would that work for you?

Hello.

I would also be interested in a solution to have a smartsheet form with a google translate feature. Please  let me know if you know something like that.

Thanks!

Hi Dan,

Unfortunately, it's not possible at the moment, but it's a great idea!

Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.

Have a fantastic weekend!

As much as I love Smartsheet it seems like their answer to every additional functionality is "great idea, that's on our list to develop." While I like that attitude generally, it is alarming the number of times I've heard it. Maybe there are newer threads on this topic about translation I haven't seen yet, but the age of this last post does not inspire confidence!

If anybody has updated information on this, please let me know, thanks!

Hmmm. I "think" I remember seeing a Bridge workflow that integrates into Google Translate, which allows you to perform translations.

We have multiple employees that do not read or speak English very well and they are required to submit several work related forms each day. It would be great if Smartsheet would automatically translate all aspects of a sheet or form to the users selected preferred language setting.
