Overview
XL Translate is an Excel-based add-in that brings real-time, multi-language translation directly into your worksheets. Instead of manual copy-paste between external tools, you simply enter text in one column and instantly see it rendered in up to three target languages.
Designed for product catalogs, reports, hospitality amenities lists and any workflow that needs fast, accurate localization, XL Translate automatically updates only new or changed entries—and even includes APIs free for up to 2 million characters per month. It’s the ideal solution for marketers, translators and international teams working in desktop Excel.
Key Features
- Real-Time Translation: Instantly translate new or edited cells across up to three language columns with a single formula.
- Multi-Language Support: Pre-configure any three target languages—English, French, Spanish, Greek, Mandarin, Japanese, etc.—for seamless localization.
- Change-Driven Updates: Only new or modified entries trigger API calls, minimizing usage and ensuring 100 % control over translation scope.
- Generous API Allowance: Includes up to 2 million free characters per month; monitor usage in a built-in status panel.
- No-Code Add-In: Fully automated Excel ribbon buttons and formulas—no VBA or macros to write.
- Offline-Ready Workflow: Works entirely within desktop Excel (2016+), with optional cloud-based API integration for high-volume needs.
