How to Use Word’s Translation Function

Word has a built-in translation feature that can quickly translate selected text to other languages without leaving the document. Here’s how:

Step 1

Highlight the text you want to translate.

Step 2

Go to the Review tab on the Ribbon. Select Translate and choose Translate Selected Text.

A pane will open on the right side where you can select the language to translate into. Word will automatically translate the highlighted text.

This feature is particularly useful when working on documents with multilingual requirements, and it’s quicker than copying text into a separate translation app.
