From multinational companies to bilingual families, there are many cases where you come across a Word document in a foreign language. Fortunately, Microsoft Word has built-in translation tools that allow you to convert foreign language texts into your native language. Although it does not, of course, produce perfect grammar as a human translator would, it will certainly serve its purpose if you want to understand the content of a document written in another language. Learn how to use the Microsoft Translator service in Word.
With Word, you can translate an entire document at once. To do so, right-click anywhere in the document, right-click and select Translate or go to Review | Translate | Translate Document.
As with translating a selection, the translator opens in a sidebar where you can select the languages from and to which you want to translate.
Usually Word recognizes the language of the original text, but if not, select the From language. Then select the language you want to translate into.
When you have selected the languages, choose Translate. In this case, a separate document containing the translation is opened. You can then save this document or do whatever you want with the text it contains.

To Translate a Word Document in Office 2016
Follow these steps if you are using Word 2016 or later:
- Display the Revision tab of the Ribbon, click the Language tool, and then click Translate.
- Click Translate the selection. Word displays the Translator pane. (After you click Translate Selected, a window may appear on your screen asking you to enable translation services. If so, click the “Activate” button, and Word displays the Translator pane).
- In the translator window, use the “From” and “To” drop-down lists to specify the languages from and to which you want to translate.
- In the text of your document, select the text you want to translate. The selected text and the translation will be displayed in the corresponding “From” and “To” fields in the translator window.
- Click Insert. Word displays the translated text in your document.
The translation is done by sending your word or phrase to a translation service on the Internet and then receiving and displaying the translation. The quality of the translation depends on many factors, but you should never blindly trust a translation made by a computer program. (Imagine what transliterated instructions on electronic devices – such as a smartphone – look like to you. That’s probably what machine translation will look like to a native speaker).
How to turn the Intelligent Services On and Off

- Scroll to Office Intelligent Services and enable or disable the Enable Services button.
Microsoft Word currently supports 62 different languages.
