• Extended alignment
When a Word document is translated, the source (original) document and
target (translated) document appear side by side. You can then use the plugin’s
alignment feature to highlight text in one document and see the corresponding
area in the other document.
• Accessing right-click options
After you translate a Word document, you can press the right mouse button to
display a context menu for accessing additional SYSTRAN features. These
features include sending words and expressions to SDM (if SDM is installed)
and defining DNT blocks.
The plugin for Microsoft Outlook lets you translate email. When you perform the
translation, the source (original) text and target (translated) text appear in the same
email, separated by a banner.
Translating Documents, Presentations, and Spreadsheets
To translate Microsoft Word documents, PowerPoint presentations, and Excel
spreadsheets:
1. Open the document, presentation, or spreadsheet you want to translate.
2. Use the Language drop-down list below to select the source-target
language pair.
Figure 11: Example of Selecting a Language Pair
3. Microsoft Word only: To see the source and target documents together
following the translation, enable extended alignment in the Word Plugin
Options (see Using Word’s Extended Alignment Feature on page 46).
4. Click the Translate button on the SYSTRAN Toolbar:
A Save As dialog box appears, with the name of the file that will contain the
translated document, presentation, or spreadsheet (see Figure 12 on page
45).
The filename ends with an underline followed by two letters that indicate the
source language and two letters that indicate the target language. In Figure 12
(page 45), for example, the plugin added
_enfr to the filename to show that the
source language is English (
en) and the target language is French (fr).
