Letโs dive straight into it. Here is how you can use the feature:
Translate Google Slides with FileDrop
Start by launching FileDrop (you can install it from the marketplace here) and proceed to open the โTranslate Proโ feature. In this section, you will find a range of options available to suit your translation needs. One of these options is the target language which currently supports over 100 languages.
The โfrom languageโ is automatically detected by the tool, thus eliminating the need for you to select the original language. It makes the process much simpler and smoother.
Next, you will come across the โtranslate scopeโ option. Here, you can choose to translate:
- a single element
- translate the current slide
- translate the entire presentation
For instance, if you have a presentation with four slides, you can translate them all with a single click.
Letโs illustrate this with an example. Suppose you want to translate your presentation to Spanish. All you have to do is select Spanish as your target language, choose the current slide under the โtranslate scopeโ option, and then click on the โTranslateโ button. In about a second, your slide will be translated into Spanish. Itโs that simple!
Whatโs more? If you want to keep a copy of your original presentation, FileDrop allows you to duplicate the presentation. You can then translate the duplicate version and maintain a backup copy immediately.
Say youโve translated a slide to Spanish. You can run a quick test to ensure the translation is accurate. If youโre happy with it, you can then select all the slides and click on โTranslateโ. Now, all your slides will be translated into Spanish.
