Default Translate from Greek to English

Select the text and apply the Greek proofing language (you probably won't
have the Greek dictionary, but that shouldn't matter).
While it remains selected, right click and choose 'translate'. WordLingo
opens and should have the correct translation options set from Greek to US
English (if it doesn't change the settings). WordLingo then translates the
text as well as any computerised translator.

Thank you Graham. Would you kindly direct me how to do this. I
thought I was doing it and I keep getting Word Lingo and nothing
happens.

Thank you again.

No automatic translation is perfect, but if the text in the document
is formatted as Greek then Word's Greek to English translation
service is quite useful. I live in a country where the first
language is Greek and my own Greek is not perfect (or even good) but
I find this tool a great assistance in understanding the many
documents the government here issues.
I you need better translation than this you need a human translator.
