Practice your second language with the help of Google tools

Use Google search by voice and Google translation together in the Chrome Internet browser to practice pronunciation and fluency. By dictating in the target language using the search function in translation mode, one can verify if the dictation was understandable by Google and see what it understood in your own language.

Finally to translate a Word Document and keep the formatting,  go to Review in the menu bar and choose Translate then Complete document after you Choose the language, if necessary. It will open in a web page but you can select the translated document and copy and paste into a new MSWord document. There will be editing/review necessary but it has completed most of the translation task.
