Is there a Libreoffice Calc function to translate languages? I would like to write words into my spreadsheet and then automatically copy and translate them into german into a new cell.

  • This is a duplicate of question asked in May 2016 but that question has no answers so this question should not be closed as duplicate I guess??? http://askubuntu.com/questions/769147/language-translate-function-for-libreoffice-calc-to-apply-to-a-cell – WinEunuuchs2Unix Mar 04 '17 at 22:57
  • I guess basically it would be the same question. – Charlie Plett Mar 04 '17 at 23:00
  • I did a little googling but couldn't find an answer. I'll give your question a +1 and hopefully someone notices it who can answer. – WinEunuuchs2Unix Mar 05 '17 at 00:46

    I have no idea how to make this work in practice (and in may not) but it is at least theoretically possible to use Calc to query a web resource to process the translation, and retrieve the result.

    Google translate can be used in API mode, and might offer a path to a solution.

  • In addition to @vandem's comment: in the Apache OOo forums, there's an example how to query a web service that may be useful. – tohuwawohu Mar 05 '17 at 09:53
