Has anyone done a bilingual app, using GOOGLETRANSLATE formula on Google Sheets?  
The problem I see is that the translated text ends up in a different column as the main one, and Glide won’t be able to “read” that information… any way around this?

You could create a 3rd column that copies either the one language or the other based on a switch somewhere else. You would still have an issue with multiple users and how to handle it if one wanted language #1 and the other wanted language #2. As it stands now, Glide would not be a practical tool to use for a bilingual app in my opinion.
