Word 2007 is a powerful word processor that can be used to translate text. There are a few steps you can take to quickly translate text in Word 2007.
- Open the Word 2007 application and click on the translation bar at the top of the window. This will open a list of translations that you can select from.
- Click on the translation you want to use and then click on the OK button. The translation will be applied to your document.
To translate a word or phrase, open your Word document and highlight the text you want to translate. Click the Review tab on the Ribbon and select Translate in the Proofing section.
The Research task pane will appear. Choose the language you want to translate to. If this case I am trying Russian.
The task pane will display the translation. If you want to add the translated text you will need to copy and paste it into your document.
With this tool you can actually translate an entire document. You can also tweak the translation options to suit your individual needs.
For very large amounts of text, Word sends the document to WorldLingo.com for translation. For instance, here I translated an English document into Japanese (not that I can read it)
