Translate to english a received email

titorober23,

<is there any way that i can create a rule that as soon as i receive an email from this sender, translate that email to english>
Sorry, No.
Most Outlook "rules" will specify what happens to an email, not manipulate what is inside of it.
Although you can specify Outlook to look at keywords in an email, I don't think there is an easy way for Outlook to "detect" the language, then translate the text in the body of the email.

However, a user at my company uses this product:

It will translate the email once opened, thus achieving your ultimate goal of translating the email from spanish to english.

Just don't expect miracles with the translation.  Sometimes the results can be unintentionally hilarious.

Hi, titorober23.

It is possible to translate a message using Google's translation API and a bit of scripting.  The output will be strictly plain-text though and some other formatting (e.g. carriage returns) will be lost.  I've only tested it with fairly short messages, so I don't know how it'll do if the message is very long.  I'll post the code if you're interested.

Another alternative is to use Outlook's built-in translation capability.  To use it

1.  Select the text you want to translate.
2.  Right-click and select Translate > Translate.
3.  Select the From and To languages.
