Gerald received an e-mail message from a colleague in his company’s Japanese office. The e-mail message includes a paragraph written in Japanese, and he needs to translate the text into English. Gerald knows that the Translation Options dialog box lists the bilingual dictionary language pairs that are available to translate text from or into. Gerald has the English version of Microsoft Office 2010 and the Japanese Language Pack installed on his computer.
