I have a source table with names in Portuguese, and I want to create a second table with those names translated into English, while keeping the translated names in the exact same order as they appear in the source table.

Could someone help me write the logic/blocks for this in Thunkable? I’m not sure of the best approach — whether to use a translation API (like Google Translate), a manual lookup/dictionary table, or some other method — and how to make sure the order stays synchronized between the two tables.

Any guidance, example blocks, or a working approach would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

have you tried using the translate blocks inside thunkable?
