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.

Hi Dominique... AFAIK I have Office 2007 on my main PC and Office 2013 on my backup PC. I have one laptop with Office 2010 on it, and am not sure what mty other laptop has, probably 2010 too. I'll maybe try out WFPro when I get a minute, or else the workaround.
I have one question: can I download and install a demo version of WF Pro without uninstalling or otherwise affecting Classic? I mean, is it possible to have both versions installed without interfering with each other?
Whatever the results, I intend to keep working with Classic at least until I get this heap of work finished... I'll be busy until at least the 10th of October...
