Answer 1

Dear @Luciano Zoccoli,

Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum!

According to your description, I understand that you're experiencing an issue with the language translator where it translates the text but doesn't actually change it in the document.

Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try:

• Check your internet connection: The translation feature relies on an internet connection to function. Make sure your computer has a stable internet connection.
• Update Microsoft Word: Ensure you have the latest update for Microsoft Word installed.
• Restart Word: Close Word completely and then reopen it.
• Verify the language settings: Make sure the "From" and "To" languages in the translation pane are set correctly.
• If a Microsoft 365 application such as Word or Excel isn't working correctly, sometimes restarting it will fix the problem. If that doesn't work, you can try repairing it. When you're done, you might need to restart your computer. Repair an Office application
