Evening! I wonder, would it be possible to make a dictionary app here, like google translate where it can translate whole texts?

Below formula does the translation to give you an idea. Basically you pass the Text, Source Language and Target Language.

=GOOGLETRANSLATE(“Hello”, “en”, “es”)

Hope this helps.

If you want a Google Translate type of thing then the above formula should work.

If you want word definitions then an IMPORTXML formula will be your friend.

Thank you all, I appreciate it.

Though what I really meant with my question was if it would be possible to make like a translator with let’s say my own made-up words, and then work like google translate.

I think then its much easier. You can Original Words and Translated words in different columns and then just show in the app.
Ex. In your spreadsheet, Have a column for English, Spanish, Arabic, Persian, French and rows with words and there translated form. Then user can pick a source and destination language, search for a word and voila the result are there.
