The Microsoft Research Machine Translation (MSR-MT) Team Blog has published some details about a translation plug-in for Microsoft Office.
Now you can translate your Microsoft Office documents with Microsoft Translator – right within Office! You can translate words, phrases, or even your entire document, through the Research task pane. We blogged about setting this up manually for Office 2007 or Office 2003 previously – now it’s really easy!
This works for both Microsoft Office 2003 and 2007. The current default in Microsoft Office is WorldLingo – this installer will update your task pane to use Microsoft Translator as the default translator for the languages we provide.
Download the installer now and let us know what you think over in the Forum!

Ashley Cecil on Thanks Andrew! Sorry, but your comment got caghut in my spam box and I just caghut it tonight.I almost always paint from pictures. I’m much better at rendering than creating images from my head, and so painting from life doesn’t work well for me because everyone and everything constantly moves. I don’t know how artists did it before photography. I’ve read that many teachers, years ago, thought of photos as a crutch. I would be kicked out of art school if that were the case. But, taking my own photos is part of the creation process for me. I’m very picky about composition, lighting, cropping, perspective and so on.Also, I HATE the way people change and get self-conscious or act differently when they’re aware I’m painting or drawing them. I try to stay invisible.I don’t use Etsy. I sell prints on imagekind.com and I’m currently in the process (along with my web developer, god love him) of launching a shopping cart once I re-shoot high res pics of my work and populating it. I’m very excited!
