Translation Tool for Excel is an add-in for MS Excel for translating text to different languages. The tool is easy to use and extremely fast. It's powered by Google Translate. The tool works in Windows Excel 2003 and later, and Mac Excel 2011, but on Mac it's much slower.

Installation
It's an .xla addin, which does not require installation. To use it, just double click the file, and it will appear in Excel's menu (in Excel 2007/2010, in the Add-ins tab) with the name "Translation Tool".

Google Translate API notes
We can't guarantee that the tool will work in the future, if Google makes big changes to the Translate API, or restricts this kind of usage. In this case, we can refund your existing character balance.

Google places an restriction to the total amount of text that any application can translate per month. If this limit is exceeded by all users of the Translation Tool for Excel, then no further translations are possible within the month. However, this is unlikely to happen, as the monthly limit is high.
