@ThinhDinh - Yes, that could work, as explained in this [post](https://community.glideapps.com/t/translate-column/30668)

I did not use an API but instead used an AI agent (Chat GPT manually) to do the bulk of the translations.

1. Translation is usually a one time activity for “Reference” data and this data does not change that much over time.

2. Using API’s doesn’t work that well for single words. It usually works better for sentences where the context is known. Using Google translate, the verb “Book” as in “Book a Meeting” translates to “Livre” in French = the noun “Book” - a **book** on cats, and not “réserver” – “to book”.

3. Using a conversational AI tool might be better:

In the end, it depends on the App’s use case. If there are constraints on the Glide usage limits or if the App’s content (labels, content, etc.,) is stable then the manual approach using a conversational AI tool might work better.
