How to turn on/off Mini Translator in Office 2010

 

-- Ok Miss Smarty Bulb, I answered your question last time; I bet you can’t answer this question:-- 

 

Question: How do I turn on / off the Mini Translator feature in Office 2010?

Answer:

-- Oooohhh! I know that one! -- 

1. Click on the Review tab, and then the Translate Button.

2. The Mini Translator is turned on and off by simply clicking Mini Translator.

If Mini Translator icon is highlighted, it is turned on. And it will also show the translation language.

If Mini Translator is not highlighted, it is turned off. (The translation language will still show even though it’s off.)

3. Now if you have Mini Translator turned on – when you select text you want to translate and hover over it, the Mini Translator will appear with a translation or bi-lingual dictionary based on your settings. If the Mini Translator is turned off – you will not have any pop-up when you select/hover over text.

--Oh! I almost forgot! I have to thank Sandy Rivas for her help with answering this question!-- -- Oh – maybe you’re not so smart, are you? -- -- Anyhow, Sandy is a Software Development Engineer in Test at Microsoft with the Office Global Experience Platform team. Sandy is originally from Ohio in the United States - but she and her team work in Redmond, Washington, USA. It is her team that is responsible for designing, developing and testing everything to do with MiniTranslator – isn’t that cool? --

Totally cool!

-- Oh hey - Wirote Petchdenlarp also assisted Sandy! --
