Choose Google Translate for the free workflow or select OpenAI, Claude, or Gemini after activating Pro.

Why it matters

There is no single best engine for every spreadsheet. The useful choice depends on text length, context, instructions, speed, and review requirements.

01

Google Translate

A practical free starting point for straightforward text and common language pairs.

02

OpenAI and Claude

Useful when natural phrasing, longer context, or close instruction following matters.

03

Gemini

Another multilingual AI option available from the same sidebar and custom-rules workflow.

How it works

Three steps in the sidebar.

  1. 01

    Create a sample range

    Choose rows that represent the real vocabulary and sentence lengths in your sheet.

  2. 02

    Run the same sample

    Translate the range with the engines you want to compare.

  3. 03

    Choose by evidence

    Review accuracy, tone, terminology, and editing time before processing the full sheet.

Good practice

AI output is probabilistic. Review business-critical translations and use a qualified translator for regulated or high-stakes content.
