You can have your texts translated directly using Microsoft Word. This is nothing new, but the translated documents are now really good.
Word documents – have texts translated
Microsoft offers you two options for having a Word document translated. How you activate the translation for your text is ultimately a matter of taste, but the result is the same. In one option, you go via the menu bar:
- In the menu bar, click the “Review” tab.
- In the Review ribbon you will see the Language section.
- After clicking on “Language”, the context menu opens. You choose the option “Translate”.
- Finally, you decide whether you want the entire Word document translated or just part of the text.
Translate text – how to do it quickly in MS Word
In addition to the option of translating the text via the Word menu bar, there is a second option:
- First, select the entire text or passage of text that Word should translate for you.
- Then right-click on it. In the context menu, select the option “Translate”.
- After you click “Translate”, a window will open on the right side of the Word document. The original text will be displayed in the upper part and the translation below.
- If you are happy with the translation from Word, click on the “Insert” button. Your text in the document will then be replaced by the translation.
