How to convert an Arabic Unicode filed to English in Alteryx. Does Alteryx support langauge translation
Hi Yogesh,
Unfortunately, we do not have an imbedded language translator. However, it is possible to connect to the Google Translate API through Alteryx. Of course, Google does charge for this product. If you are interested in how to connect to their API using Alteryx, let me know and I'll be happy to send you a sample workflow that I put together. I used a free trial account that I signed up for. You could do the same to test and see if it is something you're interested in pursuing further.
Thank you,
Dan
Hi @Yogesh,
I don't know of a translator tool. Just an idea though: you could try using an online translator, e.g. something like https://translate.google.com/?vi=c#auto/ar/this%20is%20a%20test%20of%20this%20stuff, you would need to build the URL, perhaps sentence by sentence, then collect the URL responses and combine them back together. Could be tedious and slow for a large file.
Are you looking to actually translate the Arabic into English, or are you just wanting to bring in the data into Alteryx in Arabic format?
As @JohnJPS mentioned, there is no language translation capabilities in Alteryx, but if it is the latter case, then you could try to convert the text using the ConvertFromCodePage([_CurrentField_], nnn) function and use one of the code pages found at Windows code pages.
Thanks for your help.
I was looking if you guys have also embeded translate function in Alteryx as you guys do miracle.
