How to translate emails in the Outlook app in Windows 10

Translating emails in the Outlook app in Windows 10 is easy. You don’t need to visit Bing or Google Translate, and can use a built-in Outlook Translator Add-in instead. Here’s how to get started.
  1. Sign in with your Microsoft or Work and School account and add the Translator for Outlook Add In to Outlook by clicking here.
  2. Once added, you can open an email that needs translating and visit the Translate Message option in the Home tab.
  3. When you click this, the message will be auto-translated

Applies to All Windows 10 Versions

Sometimes you might end up in a situation where you could get an email sent to you in a different language from the one you speak. That can be for a variety of reasons, but did you know that you don’t need to visit Google or Bing translate to bring the email over into your own native language? With Translator for Outlook, you can translate emails in a rush, right from the Outlook app in Windows 10. Here’s how to get started.

Install the add-in from the Office Store

The first step in translating emails in the Outlook app in Windows 10 is to install the Translator for Outlook add-in from the Office Store. You’ll need to visit this page and sign in with your work account or the email address you’re using with the Outlook app.  You can also log in with your personal Microsoft Account if you please so you can also add the add-in to your secondary account in the Outlook app in Windows 10.
Once done, you can then check to see if the add-in has been enabled by going to the Outlook app in Windows 10. When the app is open, head up to the main bar along the top. Click the Home tab and then click Get Add-Ins. You can then click My add-ins to check and see if Translator for Outlook has been enabled.

Launch the add-in

Now that you’ve installed the add-in from the Office Store, you can open an email in a foreign language. You should notice a Translate Message option in the Home tab. When you click this, the message will be auto-translated, but you also can switch things up and pick another language by choosing the dropdown menu next to Translated to.
If you like, you can also copy and paste the translated message, just like a normal email. You can then close the translated message by clicking the X at the top of the Translator window.

Other notes

Now that you’re enjoying the Translator for Outlook add-in, there are a few points to note. These translations are all powered by the online Microsoft Translator service. Essentially, this means that your data is secure and no samples are stored. You can learn more about the process here, and you can also check out the Translator app for Outlook on iOS and Android via the links below.

10 app icon redesigns: The good, the bad and the ugly

10 app icon redesigns: The good, the bad and the ugly Redesigns happen. Whether a certain look has gone out of style, a brand's direction has changed, or it's just time for something fresh, many popular apps have changed the design of their icons. Instagram just changed its app icon, and while a new look was probably a good idea, many aren't happy about it.   nstagram is far from the first app to go through this. Sometimes it's a home run, but it's rare. More often a changed icon either takes a while to get used to or is just plain bad. Occasionally, the redesign lives in infamy.  May notable icon redesigns came after after Apple transitioned from iOS 6 to iOS 7, introducing a new design philosophy that departed from the skeuomorphism (think: leather texture and wood trim) of the past and embracing a more flat, simple aesthetic. Apps like Messages, Phone, Mail and Weather dropped the gloss in favor of minimalism, and plenty of third-party ap...

 GE GAS18PSJSS Top Freezer Refrigerator with Autofill Pitcher review:  Get automatic water pitcher fill-ups from this top-freezer fridge The Good The Autofill Pitcher is a unique feature that works well and seems practical for daily use -- a rarity with top freezers.

Cooling performance was also pretty unexceptional. The Bottom Line The Autofill Pitcher is a borderline ingenious fridge feature, but the GAS18PSJSS isn't well-rounded enough to be a top pick. for price and more click here
