Microsoft has a feature that translates documents in SharePoint Online called “Document Translation”. Today, Document Translation is under the SharePoint Syntex brand, and at some point in the future this will move under a new brand called SharePoint Premium (announcement Nov 2023). This was supposed to happen in CY24, but this has not occurred yet so for the time being will continue to refer to SharePoint Syntex brand.
Microsoft Syntex offers a robust document translation service that allows you to create translated copies of files while preserving their original format and structure. Some of the key features are:
- Supported Files: It can translate .csv, .docx, .html, .markdown, .pdf, .pptx, .txt, and .xlsx. For legacy file types like .doc, .rtf, .xls, .ods, .ppt, and .odp, the translated copy is created in the modern equivalent format.
- Language and Dialects: Will translate tons of languages, see references below.
- File Size Limits: Maximum of 40 MB file.
- SharePoint and OneDrive Integration: You can translate files directly in document libraries. It is literally as simple as finding a document, going to the menu bar, and then selecting what language you want the file translated to.
- Automation: It possible to create rules that will automatically translate a document when a file is added or when a value changes in a column.
- Video: Syntex also supports translating video transcripts and closed captioning files.
Microsoft Syntex Document Translation Services is part of the new pay-as-you-go model. With pay-as-you-go, you can use Syntex without any license commitment or upfront purchasing. Any user in your organization can use Syntex services and only pay if and when services are used. Pay-as-you-go requires an Azure subscription.
