A presentation to a foreign client, an international conference, a webinar in a foreign language... Many situations require the translation of a PowerPoint presentation. Are you looking for the best way in which to translate a PowerPoint document? Here we provide an overview of the different methods available.
Translating a PowerPoint document allows you to adapt the content of your presentation to the language of your audience, but also to the culture of the local market, to ensure that the audience understands it perfectly.
Microsoft PowerPoint has a built-in translation feature. This is a useful solution that allows you to translate your document in a few clicks and avoids the need to go back and forth between the presentation and an external machine translation tool. With Windows, this PowerPoint feature is available for free. With a Mac, you need an Office 365 (or Office 2019) subscription. This function allows slides to be translated into more than 60 languages: French, English, Italian, Mandarin, Greek, Portuguese, Arabic, Spanish, German, Russian etc.
Microsoft Translator also lets you translate a presentation simultaneously, using subtitles generated in the language of your choice. To activate this feature, go to the "Slideshow" tab and then "Subtitle Settings". Then, select the source language in "Spoken Language" and select the target language of your choice in "Subtitle Language". When the PowerPoint slides start, the translation will be displayed as subtitles. You can activate and deactivate them at any time during the presentation.
In addition, thanks to the PowerPoint Live feature, which lets listeners follow the presentation on their smartphone or tablet by scanning a QR code, each participant will be able to select subtitles in the language of their choice. To activate the feature, go to "Slideshow" and then to "Present Live". A QR code will be automatically generated at the beginning of the presentation, allowing participants to access the slides from their own screen and to select their preferred subtitle.
For example, with Google Translate you can translate a PowerPoint document for free. To do this, go to and click on the "Documents" tab and select your PowerPoint. Then click on "Translate Document". Your translation will be automatically generated in PowerPoint format. Alternatively, you can copy and paste the entire content and translate it using Google Translate's "Text" translation feature.
Be aware, however, that these automatic tools normally generate a literal, word-for-word translation that does not consider the nuances of language, context, cultural norms, tone, etc. The quality is far from optimal, and the translation is often not clear or precise.
A professional, native speaker translating into their mother tongue will not only faithfully transpose your presentation from one language to another but will also adapt cultural references and nuances to that of the destination country.
In addition, the professional translator will be able to adapt the layout of the translated PowerPoint document. Indeed, translated sentences can affect the layout of the document (from English to French for example, the sentences will be longer; from English to Arabic, the direction of the writing will change, etc.). The professional translator will take care when translating and formatting the PowerPoint content (visuals, titles, subtitles, headers, footers, diagrams, graphs, figures, tables, legends, etc.) to obtain a clear, aesthetically pleasing PowerPoint presentation that is faithful to the original.
By using a translation agency for your PowerPoint document you will benefit from the skills of a specialist translator with sectoral expertise in the relevant field of activity (marketing, sales, scientific, medical, legal, financial, etc.). You will be guaranteed a perfectly reliable, error-free PowerPoint translation that uses the appropriate technical terminology.
This way, you will maintain your company's reputation and professional image and your clients and stakeholders will receive a high-quality PowerPoint presentation in their native language.
