Hello,

 

Similar topic was already discussed multiple times in Qlik Community and here are some of the available posts/articles:

  1. Making a Multilingual Qlik Sense App [1], where the solution is to use the same data but already translated before loading to Qlik Sense.
  2. TRANSLATIONS IN QLIKSENSE [2], submitted idea by another Qlik Community member.
  3. TRANSLATIONS IN QLIKSENSE STORIES [3], another submitted idea by Qlik Community member.
  4. Handling Multiple Languages [4], posted by another Qlik Community member

As you can see it was requested already to have this as a functionality and there are some suggestions on how to implement this with a workaround. Another suggestion that I could share, is the use of custom extensions [5]. This will allow you to write a custom code and you might be able to use a direct API call to Google Translator API, however I can't confirm this as I haven't tried this one on my own and there could be limitations. You can try looking into the documentation or experimenting with demo extension, before actually building a custom one for your specific use case scenario. 

 

To summarize the information, natively there is not any function available like GOOGLETRANSLATE() in Google Sheets. However the best solution to have multilingual app is described in the post [1].

 

I hope that this information was helpful. In case I have misunderstood the use case scenario, please elaborate in details by providing additional information. However, if it has helped you resolve the issue, please mark it as accepted solution to give further visibility to other community members.
