Hi, Does anybody know how to change language to a complete Power Point file? I'm working (translating and editing) from English (EEUU) to Spanish (Argentina). This document was prepared in English and I have to change language into Spanish each time I edit every single text box or image. I selected all slides from the left margin and changed language, but nothing happened. Then, I tried to make Spanish the default language, but there was no result. I'm not wor... See more
Hi, Does anybody know how to change language to a complete Power Point file? I'm working (translating and editing) from English (EEUU) to Spanish (Argentina). This document was prepared in English and I have to change language into Spanish each time I edit every single text box or image. I selected all slides from the left margin and changed language, but nothing happened. Then, I tried to make Spanish the default language, but there was no result. I'm not working with Trados this time. Can anybody help me with this? Thank you very much.
I was given a very useful add-in file to change the language in entire Powerpoint files by a fellow Prozian, Terry Richards. I can't find the correspondence now, but I just contacted him via ProZ and he very kindly sent me the file which makes life much easier - thanks again Terry! The only problem is that it only works for US/UK English, so I don't know how easy it would be to adapt it for Spanish.
Good luck!
Claire

Also, Matthias Gleiss sent me an extension to NotesPages:
Sub LangInFrames() LangID = msoLanguageIDEnglishUS
scount = ActivePresentation.Slides.Count For j = 1 To scount fcount = ActivePresentation.Slides(j).Shapes.Count For k = 1 To fcount If ActivePresentation.Slides(j).Shapes(k).HasTextFrame Then ActivePresentation.Slides(j).Shapes(k).TextFrame.TextRange.LanguageID = LangID End If Next k
tcount = ActivePresentation.Slides(j).NotesPage.Shapes.Count For l = 1 To tcount If ActivePresentation.Slides(j).NotesPage.Shapes(l).TextFrame.HasText = msoTrue Then ActivePresentation.Slides(j).NotesPage.Shapes(l).TextFrame.TextRange.LanguageID = LangID End If Next l Next j End Sub

Hi everyone,
Thank you very much and sorry for my delay to answer. I talked to an expert (if compared with me she is an expert with computers and software) and she told me what I want is not possible and that I have to change language box by box. I don't know a word about programming and complicated "macros" and so on, that's way your answers appear a little difficult for me to understand. I managed to do it my way, but the doubt still remains. Is it possibl... See more
Hi everyone,
Thank you very much and sorry for my delay to answer.

I don't know a word about programming and complicated "macros" and so on, that's way your answers appear a little difficult for me to understand. I managed to do it my way, but the doubt still remains. Is it possible? With Office 2003 I think it is not, at least not easily for a basic user. Kind regards and excuse my little knowledge in this field.
