Are you looking to manually translate a Google Slides deck but don’t know where to start? Translating a presentation can be time-consuming and tedious, especially if you have a lot of slides. However, with the right technique, you can easily translate your deck using just copy-paste. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to manually translate a Google Slides deck, ensuring your content is accessible to a wider audience.
Step 1: Open Your Google Slides Deck
First, log in to your Google account and open the Google Slides deck that you want to translate. Make sure you have editing privileges for this deck.
Step 2: Copy the Slide Contents
Next, select the first slide in your deck. Press Ctrl+A (or Cmd+A on Mac) to select all the text on the slide. Then, press Ctrl+C (or Cmd+C) to copy the contents.
Step 3: Open a Text Editor
Now, open your preferred text editor or word processor. We recommend using a plain text editor like Notepad or TextEdit to avoid any formatting issues. Paste the copied content into the text editor by pressing Ctrl+V (or Cmd+V).
Step 4: Translate the Content
This is where the actual translation takes place. Manually translate the content from the original language to your desired language. Take your time and ensure accuracy. You may want to use translation resources like dictionaries or online translation tools to assist you.
Step 5: Copy and Paste the Translated Text
Once you have translated the content, select and copy it from the text editor (using Ctrl+A followed by Ctrl+C or Cmd+A followed by Cmd+C). Return to your Google Slides deck and navigate to the first slide.
Click on the text box or placeholder where you want to insert the translated text. Press Ctrl+A (or Cmd+A) to select the existing text, then press Backspace or Delete to remove it. Finally, paste the translated text by pressing Ctrl+V (or Cmd+V).
Step 6: Repeat for All Slides
Follow the same process for each slide in your Google Slides deck. Go to the next slide, copy the original content, translate it in your text editor, and paste the translated text back into the corresponding slide. Repeat this process until you have translated all the slides.
By following these steps, you can manually translate your entire Google Slides deck. While this method may be effective, it can be quite time-consuming and tedious, especially if you have a large deck with many slides.
