How many of you get comments in foreign languages? Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch... Wouldn't it be nice to simply click a button for a translation? For just three payments of $39.95, you, too, can have this power. But, wait! There's more!
The first thing you’ll need to do is provide a way to narrow down the comments to a single response. It could be a simple as having your users click on the comment in a table.
Once they’ve selected a comment to translate, provide them a button to make the translation.
As you can see, we are going to leverage Google Translate to do the heavy lifting. Add a new Action to the button by clicking on ‘Add’, then select ‘External’ and ‘Open URL’.
Enter the following string in the URL field:
='http://translate.google.com/#auto|en|'&[Notes_Field]
Explanation of the expression:
Next, add a conditional show on your button so that it only shows up when a single comment is selected. Enter the following expression in the Conditional Show field on the Layout tab:
GetSelectedCount([Notes_Field]) = 1
Save your work and try it out. Clicking the button will open a browser window with the text translated.
Finally, brag to your client about how smart you are.
