How to Translate Text to Other Languages in Microsoft Word

1. Open the Microsoft Word document you want to translate language for. From the Tools menu, select 'Language' and then 'Translate.' A sidebar will appear at the right of your document.
2. Select the word or phrase or area of text you wish to translate. If you wish to translate the text of an entire document, do not select anything.
3. Look for the 'Translate what?' section of the sidebar in Microsoft Word. It's located at the top. Choose 'Current selection' to translate the language of the text you selected. If you wish to translate the entire document, chose the 'Entire document' option.
4. Translate a word or short phrase by choosing the language of the text you want to translate and the language you wish to translate the text to in the 'Dictionary' drop down menu. The translation appears in the 'Results' section of the sidebar. Each word in the short phrase is translated separately.
5. Use the 'Translate via the Web' option for translating the entire document or for phrases longer than a few words. Select a language translation service from the drop down menu at the bottom of the sidebar. Hit 'Go' to begin the translation. The text appears in the 'Results' box.
6. Click on the 'Replace' button to replace the text you want to translate with the new text translated into the new language.
