    Can Excel Detect Language in Cells and output the country in adjacent cells?

    Is this possible?

    I have a 1000's of rows of text all in different languages in the same column.

    What I wantto happen is that Excel detects the text language in cell A1:A5000
    and outputs the detected corresponding language as a word in cells B1:B5000



    Ie.

    A1..................................................................................................B1
    Was ist eigentlich ein "devisen broker", was bitte hat man darunter............. German


    so on and so forth - is this possible without a dictionary of VLOOKUPS for each and every language in the world?


    I hope you can feed back good news

    Only thing I could think of would be to use a web query to feed the phrase into Google Translate or something similar and return the language that it auto detects.

    Use code tags when posting your VBA code: [code] Your code here [/code]
