The "traditional" method for translating PowerPoint files with Classic should work just the same with PPT and PPTX. It only works with Office 2010 and older. It no longer works with Office 2013/365 (Windows), nor 2011 (Mac).

I second this suggestion: translate PPT/PPTX with Wordfast Pro, or Wordfast Anywhere (they use the same filters) and you'll save yourself a lot of trouble.
People who really want to do the actual translation in Classic can use this unsupported workaround that involves Wordfast Pro (demo version sufficient) and its bilingual review feature.
