Google Sheets & Google Translate for translations

 1. Using Google Sheets for Text Translation

This method works well for translating text in a simple format, such as a CSV, spreadsheet, or plain text file.

Steps:

    Step 1: Open Google Sheets.
    Step 2: Paste the original foreign text into column A.
    Step 3: In column B, use the GOOGLETRANSLATE function to translate each entry.
        For example, if the foreign text is in cell A1, in cell B1, enter:

    =GOOGLETRANSLATE(A1, "language_code_of_original_text", "language_code_of_target_language")

    Example: =GOOGLETRANSLATE(A1, "es", "en") (for Spanish to English).

Step 4: Copy the formula down the column to apply it to all rows.
Step 5: Once all text is translated, you can export the sheet as a CSV or Excel file to keep both the original and translated text in your preferred format.
