The fastest reliable method is to translate the full PPTX and include a layout pass so styles, spacing, and masters stay intact. Built-in tools act on selected text and can change formatting, so a human review plus desktop publishing fixes issues before delivery. Provide the original slides, fonts, speaker notes, and any linked media. The team translates all visible text and notes, updates slide masters, and then adjusts text expansion, line breaks, and tables. Numbers and dates are localized to the target locale. Tomedes handles translation, terminology, and a final DTP check so the deck reads naturally and keeps its design.

Tomedes supports PowerPoint (PPTX), Google Slides, and Apple Keynote. Text in charts, SmartArt, and images can be processed, and speaker notes and hidden slides are included on request. For images or screenshots with text, the team extracts or recreates the content in the target language. If you share fonts and brand guidelines, layout stays closer to your original. Videos can be subtitled or voiced over. The result is an editable deck plus a ready-to-share PDF.

Pricing is usually per word for the slide text, with optional hourly desktop publishing for layout work. Common ranges for professional work are around $0.10 to $0.30 per word, while DTP depends on complexity. Costs vary by language pair, subject matter, graphic density, and rush needs. To lower cost, provide editable assets, a glossary, and a stable template. Tomedes gives a transparent quote with word count, scope of elements to translate, and a clear DTP line item so budgets are predictable.

Small decks can be delivered in about 24 to 48 hours including layout, while larger or highly formatted decks take longer. Timelines depend on word count, number of languages, graphics, and review rounds. A good workflow shares a sample of slides first, then delivers in waves so stakeholders can approve tone and layout early. Tomedes uses parallel linguists with shared terminology and a dedicated DTP lane to accelerate delivery without sacrificing quality.

Expect text to grow in some languages and shrink in others, which affects spacing and line breaks. For Arabic or Hebrew, right-to-left settings and compatible fonts are set at file level, and table or list directions are adjusted. CJK and vertical text needs proper font support and paragraph settings. Tomedes configures language preferences, swaps compatible fonts when needed, and runs a DTP QA to keep the design balanced and readable.

It is fine for a draft or classroom use, but it often misses context and can break bold, superscripts, and lists. Professional decks need human correction and a layout pass, especially for charts, SmartArt, and notes. A practical approach is to use AI for a first pass, then ask for human editing, glossary enforcement, and DTP. Tomedes offers AI-assist with human review so you get speed and a polished final deck.

Yes. Notes are translated like normal text. For charts and SmartArt, data is extracted or recreated so labels remain sharp. Text in images uses OCR or is rebuilt in the target language. Provide original data and source files when possible to reduce costs and keep fidelity. Tomedes localizes these elements and returns both editable slides and a final PDF.

Files are transferred over secure channels and handled by a limited project team under NDA. Only required assets are retained, and deletion can be scheduled after project close. If needed, a secure portal or SSO can be used for file exchange. Tomedes follows strict confidentiality practices and aligns retention with client policies.
