You can use the Alias statement in your script:

Alias Nom as Name, Ville as City, "Code Postal" as "Post Code";

Load * From ....;

You can list as many translations as you wish using multiple Alias statements if you like. The names need not appear in the particular file you are loading.

Do you want an automated translation, without having to define the translations beforehand?

Hello.  I've asked something similar and here's what I've learned.  Qlik does not offer translation for language at this time.  I have seen evidence that there may be extensions for translation but I can't vouch for how good they are (and they are not free).  See Qlik Branch.

In our case, we translate from English to German and we've had to create our own crosswalks (luckily we have a few translators to validate for us).   As Rob has stated, your best solution in today's environment is to 1) Obtain a translation crosswalk from the French terms to the English terms, and 2) Load using an alias.

Best,
