Translate a PowerPoint into Arabic, right to left, with the design unchanged
Upload a .pptx and get the same deck back in Arabic: every title, text box, table and speaker note translated in place, each paragraph set right to left and right-aligned, and the design, images and animations untouched. The first slides are free without an account; a deck of typically about 300 slides is $5, paid once.
- Paragraphs set right to left and right-aligned, not just translated
- Tables on slides set to right-to-left column order
- Speaker notes translated with their slide
- Text boxes where Arabic runs longer get a smaller text scale to stay inside the box
- Logos, charts as images and slide masters left as they are
What usually goes wrong with Arabic slides
Arabic text pasted into an English slide keeps the box's left alignment and left-to-right direction. Words appear, but punctuation jumps to the wrong end, bullets sit on the left and mixed lines with numbers or English product names reorder unexpectedly. Fixing it means opening every box on every slide and switching its paragraph direction.
Here, each translated paragraph is set to right-to-left direction and aligned right, and tables with translated text are set right to left. Bullets follow the direction. Product names, numbers and codes are copied as written, and you can list names that must stay in Latin letters under "Never translate".
Keeping slides readable
Arabic is often similar in length to English, but titles and short labels can grow. Where a box's translated text is clearly longer than the original, the box is set to shrink text on overflow with a smaller text scale, so nothing spills off the slide. Positions and sizes of boxes are not moved, so the deck keeps its grid. Look through the slides with the most text after downloading.
Mirroring the whole slide layout, for example moving a picture from the left side to the right, is a design choice this tool does not make; slide layouts stay as designed.
