You can do so much with Office 365. For example, you can easily Translate Documents in Word. Most documents will more than likely come in one of two formats. It will be either a PDF or a Word Document. These steps will help you translate it from another language to English (i.e. French) without it having to leave the security of our organization.
There are Translation Services out there but if you don’t want the added cost this is a good way to go.
If you receive the resume in PDF format you will need to do it in two steps. In the case of a Word document, you will only need the second step.
Step One – Open the PDF file using Word
- Open Word to Translate Documents in Word.
- Click “Open” in Word.
- Click “Browse” to navigate to the PDF document.
- From the drop-down box, choose “PDF”:
- Choose the PDF file you want to open in Word.
- You be asked if you want to convert to Word:
- Click OK and the PDF will be converted to Word.
- You will need to save the document before can translate it.
- Save it as a word document:
Step Two – Translate Document in Word
- Once the document is saved, go to the Review tab and choose “Translate Document”:
- It should auto-detect the language but if you want, you can choose the language the document is in, the “To” language should be set to “English”:
- Click Translate.
- The translation will open in a new document:
- From here you can save it to anywhere on the server.
Note: Translate Documents in Word and Formatting won’t be perfect, but it will do most of the heavy lifting!
