MS Office 2010, New Mini Translator feature

Microsoft have introduced a Mini Translator in Office 2010 that provides on-the-fly translation as you select a word or phrase and provides dictionary definitions of individual words.

How it works

  1. Point to a word or selected phrase with your mouse, and the translation will display in a small window.
  2. The Mini Translator also includes a Play button so you can hear an audio pronunciation of the word or phrase using a text-to-speech engine.
  3. The Copy button lets you paste the translation into another document.
  4. You can use the Mini Translator in Word, Outlook, OneNote and PowerPoint.
