I’m not impressed with Copilot. Today I tried to have an Excell file translated and it just couldn’t do it. Just a single column, simple text and nope, couldn’ do it. Paste the text of a cell right into Copilot worked fine, but I wasn’t going to do it manualy with the 13000 rows. Tried the same with ChatGPT and that didn’t work either.
AIs are only useful to do “approximate” dumb tasks, they can’t do anything precise so you are better looking at how to do this with pandas to automate things.
That’s the funny thing. It did give me the Python code to do it. In the end I just used Google translate and copy-paste to do it. But I can’t set up a python enviroment on my work computer (without admin access).

Fyi, the Python installer does allow you to install Python without admin access iirc.
try programming on your browser instead
