I was honored this week to speak with educators in Barcelona. While I know some Spanish, I am not fluent. Wanting to use a Google Form to collect responses from audience members I knew that my Spanish was not sufficient to quickly translate and understand. Google Sheets however makes it easy to translate.
=GOOGLETRANSLATE()
The formula =GOOGLETRANSLATE() will convert text in one language in Google Sheets to another language.
CopyDown Add-on
The copyDown add-on for Google Sheets will automatically copy a formula in a spreadsheet upon Form submission.
Create a Google Form. On the Responses tab, select the spreadsheet icon. In a blank column for the first response to the Google Form write the formula =GOOGLETRANSLATE(). Use the Add-on menu in the spreadsheet to select “copyDown.” The add-on will automatically detect the formulas you have written in the spreadsheet and allow you to copy that formula to each row dynamically as entries are made to the Google Form.
Very interesting! Thanks for sharing and the keynote of yesterday.
