To translate (part of) an Office document, first set your language, and then trigger the translation.
Procedure
- Start your Office application (Word, PowerPoint, Outlook or Excel).
- Open the document which you want to have translated.
- Select the TRANSLATE tab.
- Select Add-in Options.
- Select Detect Language to have the add-in detect the language of your document.
The add-in sets the From property to LANGUAGE (Detected), where LANGUAGE is the suspected language of the document.
- The detection process is not perfect; it may detect the wrong language (if, for example, the document is very short). If so, open the From dropdown and select the correct language from the dropdown yourself.
- From the To dropdown, select the language into which you want to translate.
- If a dictionary for your language pair is set up on the server, select that dictionary from the last dropdown.
- If you want to translate only a selected piece of text, select that content first.
- In Word, PowerPoint or Outlook, select Translate or press CTRL+SHIFT+T.
The add-in translates the selection (if any) or the entire document.
- In Excel, do one of the following:
- To translate the entire Excel document, select Translate document.
- To translate the cell you are currently in or the text you selected (if any), select Translate selection or press CTRL+SHIFT+T.
The add-in translated the selection (if any), the contents of the cell, or the entire document.
