Translate survey text response to English in feature layer?

AdamGebhart

I am working on a survey that includes translations to Spanish, French, Arabic and Swahili.  I have the labels, hints, etc all set up for those and they appear to work fine.

I asked somebody to submit a response in French and noticed that the values are stored in the feature layer in French.  Is there a way to automatically translate them so I only see English answers in the feature layer?  I've set up a report template and Power Automate flow that sends a report and the ideal situation is to not have the recipient spend any time translating.

You can try the beta text analysis feature:

• Add a hidden text question to hold the English translation.
• Set its calculation as "text analysis" from the French text question, use a prompt like "Detect the language of the input text. If it's not English, translate the text into English and only output the translation result."

In this case, once the user complete inputting the French text, it will automatically translate to English and save to the hidden text question.
