is it possible to convert an English document created within MS Word 2013 to a different language?
Hello and Good Evening Everyone,
I am wondering if it is possible to open an English document within MS Word 2013 and precisely convert it to a different language like French. If so, what steps would be needed to carry out this task?
Thank you
George

Hi George. Can I offer one tip that might help you refine translations. After translating from, for example English to French, copy out that translation. Paste it back into Google Translate as French and translate back to English. Seeing it back in English can sometimes help pinpoint words or expressionas that have not been translated properly. You tend to find this most often with technical expressions, colloquialisms, and metaphors, and in these cases you sometimes get the nearest literal translation. English is probably as full of nuances as French, Italian, Spanish, and so on, so it is rare to get a translation that native speakers won't smile at and realise that the text was machine translated.
You could always create new "Gigs" here on EE. Paul has that E aigu at the end of his surname which makes me think that he could probably translate anything you threw at him accurately into French ;-)
