Translating into Thai
Hello, can anyone help me please. I would like to be able to type a document
using microsoft word, and translate it into Thai. I have word 2003 installed. I have set up so it recognises and can type Thai characters, etc. There is a translate fuction in word 2003 for 12 different languages, but Thai is not one of them. Does anyone know if Microsoft offer a plug in to translate english documents to Thai? I've been on a few websites but cant seem to see any plugins available Please help anyone :-) Many Thanks |

Automatic translation facilities merely provide an indication of what the
words mean. If it is your intention to produce a useable document that a Thai person would understand, and not gibberish, you need to employ the services of someone who understands both languages. You will find such services on the internet. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org John wrote: Hello, can anyone help me please.

Hi Graham,
Thanks for the reply. I've heard of microsoft proof tools which do incorporate some thai. Is there not a good plug in available elsewhere? Are the microsoft proof tools in Thai ok? I did find a website that produce a bit of software that actually shows a thai keyboard on your screen as your typing which sounds pretty good. Maybe microsoft should do the same. Here's its link. http://www.lingua-uk.com/multi-language.htm#writer3 Hope you can reply, as your more knowledgable than me on this many thanks John "Graham Mayor" wrote: Automatic translation facilities merely provide an indication of what the words mean.

Microsoft proofing tools primarily check spelling. They are not going to
take your English input and produce a Thai (or any other language) document. For that you will need third party products and Word's translation option will link you into such tools via the internet. Do you understand enough of the written Thai language to be able to edit the text from the gibberish produced to a meaningful document? If not, use a human translator. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org John wrote: Hi Graham, Thanks for the reply.
