العربيةWord translation add-in
Use the Word sidebar for full-document, selection, selected-text lookup and bilingual translation. Choose Translation to replace text in place or Bilingual to insert translations below the original. You can also set the Translation font while preserving bold text, lists, tables and cross-references as far as possible.
Free download · Supports Office and WPS Writer · No copying to a website and reformatting after pasting back
For anyone who needs Word translation that preserves formatting: translate contracts, bids, papers and manuals within the original document instead of exporting plain text.
Install and get started in four steps
One installer for Word, Excel and WPS. The steps below use Word as an example.
- Close Word, Excel, WPS Writer and WPS Spreadsheets completely before installing
- Download and run the TopCopilot installer. It automatically matches 32/64-bit systems and usually requires no administrator privileges
- Open Word, select the AI Assistant ribbon tab, open the sidebar and sign in
- Choose full-document or selection translation, set the target language and output mode, then start translating
What the Word Translation Add-in Can Do
The sidebar supports full-document, selection, highlighted-text, bilingual, and image translation: choose “Translation” or “Bilingual” before writing back, and specify a translation font in advanced settings; you can also batch-translate document images while preserving the layout as closely as possible.
Word's built-in translation vs TopCopilot
Built-in translation unavailable or failing on long documents? See Word translation troubleshooting for Word 2016 and service access errors; for a 129-page test, see the troubleshooting article 。
| Aspect | Word: Review → Translate | TopCopilot sidebar |
|---|---|---|
| Long documents (e.g. 100+ pages) | Service access errors may occur; often requires splitting into smaller files | Full-document translation processes paragraphs in the sidebar without manually splitting and merging files |
| Formatting preservation | Full-document translation opens a copy in a new window; merging split documents is manual | Writes back into the original document while preserving lists, tables and more as far as possible |
| Bilingual comparison | Full-document translation opens a new window, making paragraph-by-paragraph comparison inside the original difficult | Choose Bilingual to insert translations below the original text |
| Translation font | Translation font cannot easily be specified consistently | Choose a translation font in advanced settings; follows the original by default |
| Terminology consistency | No built-in glossary | Glossaries keep translated terms consistent |
| Installation and cost | Included with Office, depending on the version | Free trial + subscription allowance (see pricing) |

Is there a free translation add-in for Word?
TopCopilot offers a Windows installer and a free trial. After installation, try full-document, selection, selected-text lookup and bilingual translation in the Word sidebar. Available credits and subscription rules are shown on the in-app account page and pricing page.
Is bilingual translation software free?

The TopCopilot AI translation browser extension also provides free bilingual web translation with Bing, Google or the browser's built-in AI engine; LLM translation uses credits. See the account and pricing pages for allowances.
Where can I download a bilingual translation add-in for Word?
Get the Windows installer from the official TopCopilot download page, and avoid modified third-party packages. After installation, open Word, select AI Assistant in the ribbon, choose full-document or selection translation, and set the output mode to Bilingual to insert translations below the original. Detailed steps are covered in the installation guide and Word / WPS bilingual translation article.
How do I install a Word add-in for English translation?
Close Word completely, then download and run the TopCopilot Windows installer. Reopen Word, open the sidebar from the AI Assistant ribbon tab, and choose a target language to translate between Chinese and English or other languages.
Can the Word translation add-in translate an entire document?
Yes. Choose full-document translation in the sidebar to process the whole document paragraph by paragraph and write back the translations. Use selection translation for a chapter or a few passages. The output mode can be Translation or Bilingual.
Does Word support bilingual translation?
Yes. Before translating a full document or selection, set the output mode to Bilingual to insert translations below the original paragraphs for comparison. For a finished translated document, choose Translation to replace text in place. Full instructions are in the Word / WPS bilingual translation guide.
Can the Word translation add-in preserve tables and formatting?
Translations are written back into the original document while preserving headings, bold text, lists, tables and cross-references as far as possible. For complex documents, save a copy first and manually check important formatting afterward.
How does translation replacement work in Word? Does it replace the original text?
With the Translation output mode, full-document or selection translation replaces text in place while preserving formatting as far as possible. Bilingual keeps the original and inserts each translation underneath. Use selected-text lookup to view a translation without changing the document.
Can I choose the translation font?
Yes. Click the gear beside the target language and choose Translation font. The default is Automatic (follow original); you can also specify Microsoft YaHei, SimSun, Arial or another font to use when writing back translations.
How do I configure the Word translation add-in?
Open the AI Assistant sidebar and select a target language to begin. Output mode and translation font are in advanced settings beside the target language. Glossaries and custom prompts have their own entries in the sidebar.
Can I install the translation add-in in Word 2016?
Yes. TopCopilot supports Microsoft Word 2016 and later, including Office 365 and LTSC, on Windows 10/11.
Can this Word add-in translate offline?
TopCopilot requires an internet connection and cannot translate offline. If Word's built-in Review translation still fails, consult the troubleshooting page. For confidential documents, follow your organization's rules on sending data externally and read the privacy policy.
