Try the first screen of this modified project: [Thunkable](https://x.thunkable.com/copy/ea5707ee569d213320c8669375e9bf2d) Here are the blocks I used. It works on my iPhone 13 Pro to tap Listen, speak in English, and then it displays and speaks the phrase in Turkish. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/4/a/4aa1c057bf361ecc3d70ebb386133bb371398c73.png) ---

Hello @zaidraw3366 As mentioned in [our docs](https://docs.thunkable.com/blocks/app-features/data-sources-blocks), the valid row id types are index and unique id, and not a list as it is in your blocks. The index refers to the row by its integer position (1 for the first row, 2 for the second row, etc.) and must be greater than zero. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/2/b/2b5393f1e327deccdef41db77951f4b157f52596.png) ---

You’re still using a list block instead of the green `row id` block or a row number (integer) for the row id slot. You also have a data viewer list overlapping buttons that the user needs to click. I made some changes to your project but it’s not working yet. I’m not sure why it doesn’t translate. But this is how I would set up the written translation: > **[Thunkable](https://x.thunkable.com/copy/75b852ca3048ffc782c70d0bf9e31858)** ---
