Google Docs现已支持42种语言之间的翻译

Google has added a “translate document” option to the tools area of Google Docs. This lets you translate the text of any document to 42 languages. You can either replace the original file with the translation or copy the translation to a new document which you can share with collaborators or export as a DOC, HTML, PDF, RTF, TXT, or OpenOffice.org file.

Google为其产品Google Docs的“工具”菜单项增添了一个“文档翻译”功能。该功能可以实现42种语言之间的翻译。通过该功能，你可以将源文本全部以译文代替，或者将译文复制到一个新文档，与同事共享，当然，也可以将译文导出为DOC、HTML、PDF、RTF、TXT或OpenOffice.org等其它文件格式。

You could also use the tool to import documents written in another language and translate them to one that you speak. Of course, the machine translations won’t be any better than what we've come to expect from the Google Translate web service. But garbled machine translation is better than no translation... usually.

你也可以通过上述工具导入其它语言的文档，翻译成你所熟悉的语言。当然，你不能指望这样的机器翻译翻出来的效果会比Google的在线翻译平台好。但是，生涩的机器翻译也总比没有翻译要强吧。

Translation is available for documents, but not for spreadsheets or presentations.

上述翻译功能目前只支持文档格式，对spreadsheet（电子表格）和presentation（演示）等文件格式暂时还不支持。
