Hi everyone,
This is a fairly lengthy project, and I kinda want to figure out how to solve most of it on my own, except I've run into a bit of a problem.
basically, I have a survey in like 12 different languages, without a key, and I want to take that sheet with all these languages, create a translation key, and translate everything into english.
I'm using a user defined function called "translate()" I pulled online... and it works beautifully, with the exception that sometimes it says, "language not found". Right now I'm trying to find a way to have the code look for the language not found entries, have it copy the value in the original language, put that value in an input box AS the default (so that the user can just cut/copy it into google translate or something). and the user enters an english value. After the translation key's been fixed by the user, he clicks ok, and the code continues with vlookups to build a final translated table.
Here's the raw table below:
and here is sample translation key for one of the columns:
