I think you are overestimating Microsoft Office. Some of its 
components - e.g. Microsoft Word - have a translate facility, but 
this merely sends the text of your document to a web facility and 
displays the result in a browser window - and you need to copy and 
paste it back into your document. You then presumably need to repeat 
all your formatting from scratch. Microsoft Word doesn't do the work 
itself. You can paste your text into such a facility just as easily yourself.

You need only the power of your own index finger. Try Google 
Translate <https://translate.google.com/> or Bing Translator 
<https://www.bing.com/translator/>.

I trust this helps.
