How to translate Microsoft Word files
A file with the DOCX extension is a Microsoft Word Open XML Format Document file. DOCX files are XML-based and can contain text, objects, styles, formatting, and images.
Formatting guide:
-
Make sure that the file format is DOCX (Microsoft Word 2007 and newer versions)
-
If the files are .doc, convert them to .docx
-
Automatic tables of contents will need to be updated manually after the translation
-
Hidden text will not be considered translatable
-
Comments will not be considered translatable
-
A large amount of hidden text may cause the filter to not process the docx file, consider removing the hidden text if you encounter this error
-
All editable text in the docx files will be considered translatable
-
All Track Changes need to be accepted (Review>Changes>Accept). Otherwise they might be displayed in the wrong, compared to what is shown in the file.
-
After the period mark, text will be divided into multiple segments for the translator.
-
Text from text boxes will not be extracted if the file is saved in an older version than Microsoft Office 2013.
-
You can convert the file by opening in Microsoft Word 2013 and clicking on File > Info > Convert
