- Hello! Hope you are enjoying Word 2010. Use the manual instructions from this blog post and you should be able to get going! In newer builds of Office 2010 you should be able to use Microsoft Translator.

- Hello Mac,
no, you are not doing it wrong, that's how it works. If you use the view "Translation with hover original" (the rightmost view icon), press Ctrl-A to select the whole document, Ctrl-C to copy to clipboard, then Ctrl-V to paste into Word, you get quite reasonable fidelity on the formatting.

- Thanks so much for your reply Vikram - I am enjoying the Word.. Using the manual instructions, Translator installed fine.. so it seems Translator either
1) Translates selected text - and seems to lose all formatting within the doc....
or 2) jumps out to Windows live translator - which keeps the formatting (and has some lovely ways of viewing the original / translated text - love that..)
but then how to get it back into ones word application? copy and paste? i thought the idea was that all of this was INSIDE the word app? maybe im doing it wrong?

- Thanks for your reply Chris,
I did copy and paste and it holds the formatting, so all good there.. i guess it's too much to put all that code inbedded in word..
tother thing - the proofing languages for portuguese don't work for 2010.. i saw a blog from one of yours saying that twas only working for
bout 4 languages..
must be on your probably very long to do list :))
ok thanks again for your hard work - much appreciated - double single malt for you fella .. - Hi Mac,
I cannot comment on the proofing languages in Office 2010. Translation in Office 2010 using Microsoft Translator works fine using 19 languages from and to English. Let us know if you find translation not working.
