I have installed Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2021 package and I have a big problem translating texts from word. I can no longer translate parts of the text or the whole text. When I select translate selection or translate document it freezes and I get the message that it loads and stays that way...Please help me to solve this problem!

    Hello IoanSB,

    I'm Shalom and I'd happily help you with your question. In this forum, we are Microsoft consumers just like yourself.

    Here are some troubleshooting steps you can try to resolve the issue:

    • Check Internet Connection: Ensure that your computer is connected to the internet and the connection is stable.
    • Update Office: Make sure that your Microsoft Office suite, including Word, is up to date.
    • Check Language Settings: Verify that the language settings in Word are correctly configured. Go to the "Review" tab, click on "Language," and then select "Set Proofing Language" to ensure the correct language is selected for translation.
    • Add or Remove Translation Services: To do this, go to "File" > "Options" > "Language" > "Choose Editing Languages" and then add or remove the desired translation services.
    • Disable Add-ins: Try disabling any third-party add-ins and then check if the translation feature works as expected.
    • Repair Office Installation: Go to "Control Panel" > "Programs" > "Programs and Features," select Microsoft Office from the list of installed programs, and then click on "Repair."

    Best Regards, Shalom
