    Use the built-in Microsoft translator from VBA

    Hi all,

    as this thread didn't get any replies, I'm trying something different.
    I didn't know until recently, but apparently Excel 2013 (and later) has a built-in translation functionality - which would work for my purposes.
    However, if I use the good-old macro recorder to apply this in VBA, it records nothing. Google also comes up empty.
    Does anyone know how to call the built-in translator from VBA?
    Thanks,

    Jasper

    Re: Use the built-in Microsoft translator from VBA

    Hi Kenneth,

    thanks for your reply - this uses external 'webscraping' so to say - it's just parsing it through a website. I could do that through google translate, but I'd like to use the built-in translator in Excel. Does anyone know if that's possible?
    Many thanks!

    Jasper

    Your post does not comply with Rule 8 of our Forum RULES. Do not crosspost your question on multiple forums without including links here to the other threads on other forums.

    Cross-posting is when you post the same question in other forums on the web. The last thing you want to do is waste people's time working on an issue you have already resolved elsewhere. We prefer that you not cross-post at all, but if you do (and it's unlikely to go unnoticed), you MUST provide a link (copy the url from the address bar in your browser) to the cross-post.

    Expect cross-posted questions without a link to be closed and a message will be posted by the moderator explaining why. We are here to help so help us to help you!

    Read this to understand why we ask you to do this, and then please edit your first post to include links to any and all cross-posts in any other forums (not just this site).
