  How to add newly released languages to your Office apps?
  Microsoft Translator Friday, March 20, 2015 12:05 AM

  How to add newly released languages to your list of languages in Office?

  As new languages are added to the core Microsoft Translator service, these languages will appear automatically in www.bing.com/translator, Internet Explorer, Skype Translator IM translation, etc.

  However, for these to appear in Office, Word for instance, you need to first update the list. This is pretty simple and here are the detailed steps to do this. It will take less than a minute to do this

  1. Open word, type a short (5 words of more) text, select the text
  2. Go to the review tab, select “translation” and “translate selected text”
  3. This will open the research pane and you will see a link towards the bottom of the pane that say “Get update to your services” 
     • If you click on the menu “from” or “to” you will see that the new language is not in the list
  4. Click on this “Get update to your services” link.,
  5. Click on “Update”, then “Continue” on the pop-up Windows
  6. Click on “Install” (figure 3)
     
  7. Then “OK” and “Close”
     
  8. All done! Now the new language is available.

  Known issue on Word translation
  Microsoft Translator Wednesday, September 12, 2012 11:48 PM

  When you try to translate a large Word document by using Microsoft Translator, you might get 404 error. This is a known issue and we're working on this.  If you need to
  translate a large Word document, we suggest you to split the large document into smaller documents. We will post a note at the forum when this issue gets fixed.
  Thanks. Microsoft Translator Team

  What's APPROPRIATE for this Profile Forum?
  Sean Jenkin Friday, April 15, 2011 7:31 PM

  It's for discussions on our profile system and our new recognition system. It is not a place to ask questions about Windows or Sharepoint or Insert your product here. There are specific forums for products and technologies. Please use them. Out of context forum threads will be deleted from this forum.
