What is the best way to translate multiple fields?

I have multiple fields that need to be translated. Is the best way to handle this to create a formula fore ach field? For example, one field is a gender translation from Male->M, another is Yes->Y, another is White->WH. Is there a way to have one tool do all of these translations?

Hi @jhouseslu 

 

Best way would be multi-Field formula. Refer the link below.

Hi @jhouseslu,
I have provided an example, as @atcodedog05 said, best case is a multi-field formula. I'm sure there's a more elegant solution here but for one tool, this will do the job!
