How do you convert English text to Spanish in Microsoft Word?

Question

One of my co-workers needs to know this. I can't find a way to do it.

Answer 1

There is no *useful* English>Spanish conversion utility in MS Word. You'll need to find a translator. Alta Vista's Babelfish website can translate, but there are no guarantees as to accuracy.

If you think that right clicking your text and selecting Word's built-in "Translate" function is going to work, guess again. If you think setting the language to Spanish is going to make your text become Spanish on the fly, guess again. I know these methods are BUNK because I tried each of them.

I am unceasingly amazed at the number of people that offer suggestions, without any consideration for whether their advice is useful.

Answer 2

Ok, that one guy is full of it. Under Tools in Word, you can change the language setting to Spanish, but that will only give you the ability to spell/grammar check if you have that feature installed. If your text is in English, it will stay in English. Online electronic translators are a joke, and anyone who has a grasp of the language will know if you use one. So if what you need is a translation of a text from Spanish to English, you will need to hire/ask someone to translate it for you.

Answer 3

There is a Spanish Translation in Word. Click on Tools, Language, Set Language, then set the language to Spanish.

Answer 4

highlight the text, right click on it, then click on translate, after that, choose the option for spanish
