I have managed to get a msg box to pop up with the translation but really what I want is to be able to enter text into cell B2, press a button and have the translated text appear in cell M2.

Thoughts?
 

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
How are you translating the text? Post your code.

Alternatively, put the code here in a module:

and assign this macro to your button:
VBA Code:
Public Sub Button_Click()
    Range("M2").Value = GoogleTranslate(Range("B2").Value, "en", "fr")
End Sub

I pasted the code you sent in a module and assigned the macro to my "translate button"; here's the error I received.
