Understanding something is the first step in decoding or learning it, and language is the first thing that we have to know if we want to understand something. Knowing and understanding a language is always important in every business sector, and Google Sheets is no exception. That is why it is necessary to learn how the DETECTLANGUAGE function works.
In this article, we will examine the DETECTLANGUAGE function and how to use the language detector function in Google Sheets. We will also look at some of the frequently asked questions about the DETECTLANGUAGE formula to better understand the details of this feature.
What is the DETECTLANGUAGE function?
The DETECTLANGUAGE function detects the language of a text in a specific cell range.
Arguably one of the easiest functions to learn among all of the Google Sheets formulas, this language detection model offers great help for text-heavy folders. One of the best features of this function is that it can detect the language of a text in a specific cell or multiple cells in a certain cell range.
How to use the DETECTLANGUAGE function in Google Sheets
As it is one of the easiest functions to learn and use, the DETECTLANGUAGE function does not need any extensive tips and tricks to implement. However, there are still things to keep in mind, such as the function not giving the result that is needed all the time due to similarities in languages.
1. Open your Google Sheets folder and locate the cell(s)
The first step that you must do to use the DETECTLANGUAGE function is to open your Google Sheets folder and locate the cell or cells that you would like to use the function on. One important thing to keep in mind is to make sure that you correctly locate the individual cell or the cell range that you would like to use.
Choose or start a new sheet
💡As the DETECTLANGUAGE function can only work with text values, it is important to select the cells that have texts in them. Otherwise, you will be unable to get the results that you want.
2. Select a blank cell and type in your function
Type the formula
After you locate the individual cell or the cell range that you would like to use, the second step in using the language identification feature is clicking on a blank cell and typing =DETECTLANGUAGE. Afterward, you will have to type which cell or cell range you would like to use in parentheses. Google Sheets will give you the results from the language identifier in real time.
3. Press Enter
Press enter
After you type in your function, all that is left to do is press enter and let Google Sheets calculate the results in real time. Make sure to check the cell range and the data that you have typed several times to look for any errors, and keep in mind that the DETECTLANGUAGE function does not always give the correct result. So be prepared to do some post-editing.
Frequently asked questions about the DETECTLANGUAGE formula
Now that you have learned how to use the DETECTLANGUAGE function to identify a language, it is time to dive into the tips and tricks with the help of answering some of the frequently asked questions about the DETECTLANGUAGE formula.
Como sugiere su nombre, la fórmula GOOGLETRANSLATE te ayuda a traducir textos dentro de una celda o rango de celdas utilizando Google Translate. Hay varias cosas importantes a tener en cuenta al utilizar esta fórmula. Como Google Translate es una aplicación de aprendizaje automático basada en el lenguaje, al igual que cualquier otra aplicación de traducción, es importante utilizarla con frecuencia para obtener mejores resultados.
La fórmula básica de traducción que puedes utilizar para Google Sheets es la fórmula GOOGLETRANSLATE. Esta fórmula te ayuda a traducir más de 100 idiomas y funciona tanto en lenguajes escritos como hablados. Esta función no te obliga a depender de aplicaciones de terceros; es ideal para empresas internacionales.
También puedes utilizar la función de detección de idioma en Excel, ya que es una característica que Excel también ofrece. Sin embargo, solo puedes detectar un idioma en Excel, ya que no hay una función que entienda los idiomas y los traduzca a un idioma deseado. Si bien hay una función de traducción en Excel, tendrías que descargar un complemento para que funcione en las celdas.
El proceso de verificar idiomas en una celda individual o un rango de celdas es el mismo que en Google Sheets. Solo tienes que localizar las celdas que quieres usar, hacer clic en una celda vacía y escribir la función de detección de idioma. Luego, simplemente tienes que escribir el rango de celdas que quieres usar entre paréntesis y obtener los resultados.
Key points to take away
In summary, the DETECTLANGUAGE function can be quite useful for international businesses with text-heavy documents. It is a great way to identify and organize certain text groups within a folder. However, some post-editing may be necessary as this feature is not perfect due to similarities between languages.
In this article, we have looked at what the DETECTLANGUAGE function is, and how to use the DETECTLANGUAGE function in Google Sheets. We have also examined several of the frequently asked questions about the DETECTLANGUAGE formula for Google Sheets and Excel. It is now time for you to apply your new skills and use it as a stepping stone for your success.
