Q A How to turn onoff Mini Translator in Office 2010

–Oh! I almost forgot! I have to thank Sandy Rivas for her help with answering this question!–

Yeah, that doesnt seem to turn it off.

IfMini Translatoricon is highlighted, it is turned on. And it will also show the translation language.

–Anyhow, Sandy is a Software Development Engineer in Test at Microsoft with the Office Global Experience Platform team. Sandy is originally from Ohio in the United States – but she and her team work in Redmond, Washington, USA. It is her team that is responsible for designing, developing and testing everything to do with MiniTranslator isnt that cool? —

Just select some text and right-click>

It worked but I had to turn off the track changes first!

its own on the toolbar. For extra surety I closed both and reopened voila! No More MiniTranslator! Annoying little thing I agree, the most annoying since the paperclip.

— Hey that was kinda easy! I should have thought of a harder question! —

Turns it off in Word. But how the **** do you turn it off in outlook?

— Oh hey – Wirote Petchdenlarp also assisted Sandy! —

— Oh well, anyhow, if you readers have a specific question you want answered,

— Hey readers, I might need help with getting a really good question (dont tell her). —

I was able to turn it off in both Word and Outlook by clicking to see that MiniTranslate was on (highlighted) and turning it off (unhighlight). In Word the control for it ison the Review Tab in the Languages group and in Outlook it has a little icon of

Did not work for me (the first suggestion).. Im not at work now, will try some of the other options tomorrow. But really, should it be that hard? Huh, Microsoft? Should it be that hard?

I turned it off in Word and the closed Word and Outlook. Looks like its now turned off for both. Im with Jakazar, why make this so hard, Microsoft?

Question: How do I turn on / off the Mini Translator feature in Office 2010?

The off answers dont work for me either!! The translator appears on every document on which I am working which is irritating. It appears often as a ghost or less often wanting to translate words or phrases I do not want translated. What do I do to prevent this?

Does not turn off wise guys. Try again.

So, maybe the question should be How did it get turned on? The off answers still dont work for me!

— Ok Miss Smarty Bulb, I answeredyour questionlast time; I bet you cant answer

3. Now if you have Mini Translator turned on when you select text you want to translate and hover over it, the Mini Translator will appear with a translation or bi-lingual dictionary based on your settings. If the Mini Translator is turned off you will not have any pop-up when you select/hover over text.

For some reasons, the mini translator only works on translatiing a sentence insead of a word, is there a setup setting? 2010 MS Word.

— Yea,right! Next time its your turn and Ill have a really good one for you! —
