Welcome to Thunkable. It seems you are using the DnD version of the designer. In this case the translator would be in the blocks page not the design page. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/0/6/062cda11ded72f067ddb711709ca8033077d49c7.png) ---

> [@muneer](#): > > the translator would be in the blocks page Here are 2 translation components: 1. Use Yandex translation component 2. Use webapi component with google translation api 👍 - Google Translation api url: `https://translate.google.com/translate_a/single?client=gtx&dt=t&dj=1&ie=UTF-8&sl=auto&tl=&q=` @mailtomanimala3n7d _ **sl=auto It means to automatically detect the language!

Thank u so much for your reply. Here is my code. [https://x.thunkable.com/copy/fb6457e16ff9cb7fd3d8119ba136d2be](https://x.thunkable.com/copy/fb6457e16ff9cb7fd3d8119ba136d2be) I am using translator from blocks only but i want to take the language name from list viewer which is bind with my DB Please have a look into my project link Thanks Manimala Sethu. ---

And the problem is with the column values in the DB I guess because in the list viewer it is Spanish but in the translator it is Spanish(es). I guess i need to change my DB columns. Is there any other version of thunkable available so that i can use the table from Yandex translator without modifying the DB. ---

The `Translator` uses the short codes not the names. Names are there to be easier for us but the actual translator component will use the code so for Spanish it will uses **es** and for Greek it will use **el**. You will need to have two columns in your table. One to display to users (which has the full name) and one to use in the app (which has the code). This is standard for all translators. ---

Wow! that’s a great reply i have added a new column to my DB table and it works fine. I am just working on speech recognizer block. Here is my piece of code. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/6/2/62599d94a53ac2b54bcb419d74d1f0b435d0f2c5.png) I want it to listen to the speech and convert it to text. But this doesn’t work. Should I change anything. Thanks Manimala ---

This is a new question now. Your post was about translator. I would appreciate if you mark it solved and open a new post for the speech recognizer. These are two different subjects, If any other member will want to search about **speech recognizer** , the user will not type **translator** in the search field. ---

Hi I have a question, in my app I have built buttons for the languages on which when clicked the whole app’s text shall be translated to that language. I am not able to translate the whole app’s text to that particular language, is there a way to solve this? This my app: [Thunkable](https://x.thunkable.com/copy/4e7804ec9f87041af2dda2f754c28840) ---

Hi and welcome to Thunkable! It’s great that you included the project link but when you have dozens of screens, it’s really hard to know what to look for to help you. Please be specific about where the translation if happening. Also, what do you mean by “the whole app’s text”? Do you want this to be a language switch for all visible text (labels) in the project? The only way I can think to do that is to loop through all labels in each screen using the Any Component blocks and translate and replace each label’s text. If you’re new to Thunkable, that’s going to feel pretty challenging. It’s not something I can provide quickly in this post. ---

No, I want there to be a language switch for all the visible _and_ invisible labels. Thank you for your suggestion though. ---
