How it works

1. 1
   Save a copy first if you want to keep the original.
2. 2
   Open CASUS in Word, switch to Actions and click Translate.

   

3. 3
   Choose the Target language. If you selected text, it says, for example, “Using 2 selected paragraphs as context”, and CASUS translates only that. Click × there to translate the whole document.
4. 4
   Click Translate to and the language.

   

5. 5
   If it says “Translation needs checking”, the magnifier (Locate) under Needs attention takes you to the places you should look at.

   

If it doesn't work

If a passage stays untranslated, it usually sits in a field CASUS can't change safely. Translate it in the chat and paste it in yourself.
