Post from Google Sheets to Instagram, translating the text into another language with ChatGPT
Drop your content in a Sheet, and watch it show up on Instagram, translated and ready to impress the world. No tech headache. No copy-paste. Just… done.
Manually translating your Instagram captions from English, then uploading both the translated text and matching image is a disruptive, time-consuming drain—especially if you manage a global brand or content calendar. Each repetitive step, from copying Google Sheets content to translation and posting, piles up to lost hours, inconsistent branding, and missed windows for engagement. If you’re not automating, you risk either falling behind on posts or limiting your reach in new markets that crave content in their own language.
This Botize formula bridges productivity with global impact: it scans your Google Sheets for new content, automatically sends your English caption to ChatGPT for seamless translation into Spanish (or your chosen language), then posts the freshly translated caption with its corresponding image to Instagram—all on the schedule you define. In just a few clicks, what used to be a multi-step, error-prone, manual routine becomes a smooth, reliable, and lightning-fast process you can scale, adapt, and trust. You’ll enjoy consistent, around-the-clock posts tailored to your audience without ever switching tabs or copy-pasting.
Ready to free your time and expand your brand’s reach? Check out how to set up this formula on Botize—it’s step-by-step, fully customizable for posting frequency and preferred columns, and you stay in control of filtering exactly what gets posted. No technical setup needed, just follow along or use the ready-made automation to go live in minutes!
