Hi, I have a large spreadsheet with a lot of data that is in Spanish. Is there any way or any code etc that would translate the whole spreadsheet to English? Thanks.
 
Hi there,

This is a remarkable thread... :pray:

Recently I have started getting files with some Arabic text (RTL...), which I need to translate to English.
I have tested the function and it works great (thanks a million, for that) but I am looking for a slightly different solution.
Because I need to maintain the original file in its as-is format, I am looking for a code that will do 2 things:
1. Replace the Arabic text with the English translation (within the original cell).
2. Run on multiple selected cells (a range), rather that manually use the function to translate cell by cell.

Being a novice coder, I know my limitations :eeek:, so any help in the right direction will be greatly appreciated.

I thank you in advance for your time and attention

Excel Facts

Create a Pivot Table on a Map
If your data has zip codes, postal codes, or city names, select the data and use Insert, 3D Map. (Found to right of chart icons).
Hello,
following code with the function in previous post does what you are looking for .

Code:
Sub TranslateSelection()

    For r = 1 To Selection.Rows.Count
        For s = 1 To Selection.Columns.Count
           If Selection.Cells(r, s).Value <> "" Then
              Selection.Cells(r, s).Value = Translate(Selection.Cells(r, s).Value, Arabic, English)
            End If
        Next s
    Next r


End Sub

'obviously hurts the original formating. This is just a demo, so I've left this unresolved.

Hello,
following code with the function in previous post does what you are looking for .

Code:
Sub TranslateSelection()

    For r = 1 To Selection.Rows.Count
        For s = 1 To Selection.Columns.Count
           If Selection.Cells(r, s).Value <> "" Then
              Selection.Cells(r, s).Value = Translate(Selection.Cells(r, s).Value, Arabic, English)
            End If
        Next s
    Next r


End Sub


Hello,

I am new to VBA completely. I see that you have use the translation link as


translate.googleapis.com and not as translate.google.com

By using google apis will it incur cost after a certain limit?

Please advice.

Hi All

Everything works other than the auto detect. Any clue?

Code:
Public Sub Test()' From English
Dim wksForeign As Excel.Worksheet
Dim wksResults As Excel.Worksheet
Dim rngCell As Excel.Range








Set wksForeign = Worksheets(1)

For Each rngCell In Selection 'wksForeign.Range("A1:A20")
rngCell.Offset(0, 1).Value2 = Translate(rngCell.Value2, Auto_Detect, English)
Next rngCell
End Sub
