About This Feature
Overview
Presentation Translation helps you handle language conversion for slide content directly in WPS Presentation on macOS. The entry is on the Review tab, so you can start translation while editing a presentation and adjust related options in the panel.
Core tasks include:
- Use Translation: Open the translation panel from the Review tab and run translation for the current content.
- Advanced Settings: Adjust higher-level options in translation settings and review the effect in real time.
This feature fits multilingual presentation preparation, international meeting materials, and courseware updates for different audiences. It keeps translation work inside the presentation editing flow, which helps reduce switching between tools.

| Capability Summary | In WPS Presentation, you can open translation directly from the Review tab and access an additional settings entry. | Microsoft provides Translate in Word, Excel, OneNote, Outlook, and PowerPoint; whole-document translation requires a qualifying version and internet access. | Google Docs can translate an entire document on desktop; if the file is still in Microsoft Office editing mode, you need to convert it to Google Docs first. | Notion AI can translate a page into a target language and also offers page translation through its AI workflow. | Acrobat can translate PDFs through Adobe Express, with options for all pages, one page, or specific text, plus tone selection. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: The translation entry is inside the presentation editing interface, which is convenient for slide work. Distinct: It provides both a direct translation path and an additional settings path. | Compared with WPS: official guidance covers multiple Office apps, but whole-file translation has version and internet requirements. | Compared with WPS: it is more focused on full-document translation, and Office files may need format conversion before translation is available. | Compared with WPS: page translation depends on Notion AI capabilities and is better suited to knowledge pages than slide editing. | Compared with WPS: the workflow is mainly for PDF translation and relies on Acrobat together with Adobe Express rather than direct translation inside a presentation editor. |

Overall Conclusion
If your main workflow is translating content while editing slides, WPS keeps the entry closer to presentation creation. Other products also offer translation, but their official workflows are more centered on documents, pages, or PDFs, so the use cases and steps differ.
