Translating Words

Word offers basic translation capabilities with the Translate task pane. With the right bilingual dictionary installed on your computer, you can translate specific words or short phrases, selected text, or an entire document. If you need more extensive translation capabilities, you can connect to translation services on the World Wide Web directly from the Translate task pane.
