Microsoft Word offers its users a very convenient option to translate typed text. You no longer need to dig into dictionaries looking for translations of words or use translation programs. You just need to start Word.
Necessary
- - computer;
- - the Internet.
Instructions
Step 1
Launch Microsoft Word on your computer. The version of this program must be at least 2003.
Step 2
Type the text you need to translate, checking it for spelling errors. Any inaccuracy can make it difficult for the program to translate the text or distort its meaning. Highlight the typed text and click the "Review" tab in the main menu. In the menu that opens, select the inscription "Transfer". After that, the "Reference Materials" window will appear to the left of the page.
Step 3
You can open this window in an easier way. Select the text or the required fragment, right-click on it, select “Translation” from the appeared context menu.
Step 4
In the window that opens, specify the source language and the target language. After that, the program will display the translated text below. You can also set certain translation parameters by clicking on the inscription of the same name in the "Reference Materials". In the window that appears, check the box next to the "Use dictionary on the Internet." This will contribute to a more perfect translation.
Step 5
After the required text has been translated, click the "Insert" button below it. And in your document text in another language will appear in place of the original test.
Step 6
If there is no such button, just select the translation, right-click on it, select "Copy". And then paste it in place of the original text. The translation will be completed.
Step 7
It is possible to translate not the entire text as a whole, but a certain fragment or word. To do this, select the element that needs translation and apply all the steps described above to it.
Step 8
Remember that when translating, the computer only conveys the general meaning of the sentences. Therefore, you should not use translated text in business documents or correspondence.
