Translating a Google Slides presentation manually is time-consuming and error-prone. You have to copy text from each slide, paste it into a translation tool, copy the result back, and then fix all the broken formatting. For a 40-slide deck, this can take half a day.
The faster way: AI Slides Translator
AI Slides Translator is a Google Workspace add-on that translates entire presentations with one click — while preserving your original formatting, fonts, images, and layout positions.
Step-by-step guide
Step 1: Install AI Slides Translator
Visit Google Workspace Marketplace and click Install. Your Workspace admin can also deploy it organization-wide through the Admin Console.
Step 2: Open your presentation
Open any Google Slides presentation and go to Extensions → AI Slides Translator to launch the sidebar.
Step 3: Choose your target language
Select from 100+ supported languages. You can translate individual slides or the entire deck at once.
Step 4: Click Translate
Click the Translate button. AI Slides Translator processes every text element while keeping shapes, fonts, colors, and image positions intact. Your translated presentation is ready to present immediately.
Tips for best results
- Keep text concise — shorter sentences translate more accurately across languages.
- Use standard fonts — common fonts have better character support for international text.
- Review key slides — while AI translation is highly accurate, critical business slides benefit from a quick human review.
