Is real-time translation available in all Office versions?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>No. This feature is primarily available in Microsoft Word for Microsoft 365 and 2021.

Does the translation feature require internet access?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes.

Can I translate content without changing the original text?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Absolutely.
