Include language translation options in dashboard widgets.

Referring to the two Chiba prefecture population transition dashboards.

Chiba Prefecture 2018-2022 Population Transition Map →　https: //bit.ly/3FpCUM

Prefecture municipal population map (as of January 1, 2022) →　https://bit.ly/3N1IlDQ

Now trying to view dashboards via Google translate English just keeps the spinning/processing icon going around and around.

If not directly translate the entire dashboard, maybe include additional "Widget Label(s)" for each widget that translates whatever is in the "Primary" widget label.

I found this idea to kudo too. Is that something you think could work for this need?

While Google Translate can be a useful tool for translating webpages, it may encounter difficulties with certain websites or specific content formats.

Regarding your suggestion of providing additional "Widget Label(s)" for translation, it could potentially be a workaround for translating the primary widget labels. However, it would depend on the capabilities and customization options of the web application or dashboard you're using. If the dashboard allows for customizing widget labels, you could manually add translated labels to improve the readability for non-Japanese speakers.

Another approach you could try is using browser extensions or plugins that offer enhanced translation and software localization services. These tools might provide better compatibility with the dashboard and improve the translation experience.

Adding native language translation options in ArcGIS Dashboards would greatly enhance accessibility and usability for global users. Currently, dashboards rely on browser settings or separate versions per language, which can be cumbersome. A built-in solution for translating labels, titles, and UI elements would streamline international deployment. Services like MarsTranslation can support this process by providing accurate, culturally appropriate translations, ensuring dashboards communicate effectively across diverse audiences while maintaining clarity and professionalism.
