Can I change the language of my document?
I currently built a 160 page manual in English for our company.
We currently hired an employee who speaks spanish (mexico) and does not understand english very well, Is there a way I can take that entire document and translate it to Spanish for this employee, somewhere in my language preference? I did find a program on the internet that translates all documents for me but I have to cut and paste each individual page and then edit it into my word document. Thanks tb |

You can purchase software that will do it but nothing can replace a human
translator. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "tb" wrote in message ... I currently built a 160 page manual in English for our company.

Translation programs do a very poor job of translating text
from English to Spanish. English is a complicated language with many words shrouded in context. A human translator would be best for all concerned, but that would be an expensive proposition...especially to translate a 160 page manual. Instead of translating your company's documents for ONE Mexican employee, why not encourage him/her to improve his/her English language skills by absorbing the cost of English classes at a local school, or by buying him/her a comprehensive set of "Learn English" CDs at a local computer store such as CompUSA or Staples? This would be to everyone's benefit. Allow your Mexican employee to spend an hour or so a day studying the CDs in house. "tb" wrote in message ...

Excellent suggestion. There may even be federal, state, or local funding
available for that training. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "Uncle Joe" wrote in message ... Translation programs do a very poor job of translating text from English to Spanish.
