● Online machine translator To translate an entire document, you can click Translate
Document on the Translate menu. When Word displays a message that the docu-
ment will be sent for translation by the Microsoft Translator service (which is free),
click Send. The document and its translation then appear side by side in your Web
browser. You can set the translation from and translation to languages in the boxes
at the top of the Web page and click buttons to change the view.
The Microsoft Translator service translates complete documents into the language you select.
To change the default language used by the Mini Translator or the machine translator, you
click Choose Translation Language on the Translate menu. Then in the Translation Language
Options dialog box, you can select different language pairs for each type of translator.
You can translate from and to many languages, including Arabic, Chinese, Greek, Hebrew, Italian,
Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, and Swedish.
In this exercise, you’ll use the Thesaurus to replace one word with another. Then you’ll
experiment with the Mini Translator.
