Translate PowerPoint decks. Layout, animations, and speaker notes preserved.
Drop your .pptx and get it back translated with slide layouts, master slides, animations, transitions, and speaker notes intact. Open it in PowerPoint — same deck, translated.
What is PowerPoint PPTX?
A .pptx is a ZIP container with one XML file per slide, plus shared resources for slide masters, themes, animations, and embedded media. Translation has to touch every text frame, speaker note, and chart label across slides — without breaking the slide layout, animation timing, or master-slide inheritance.
Why PowerPoint PPTX is tricky for AI translation
- Text frames are split across multiple paragraphs and runs with independent formatting. Translating run-by-run produces fragmented translations; merging without preserving formatting boundaries breaks the design.
- Speaker notes are stored in separate notes.xml files and are easy to skip.
- Master slides and slide layouts define inherited placeholders. Translating a master changes every slide that uses it.
- Animations and transitions reference text frames by ID. Renaming them breaks animation sequences.
- Embedded charts and SmartArt graphics have their own text trees that need separate handling.
- Text expansion in fixed-size text boxes overflows. Auto-shrink or buffer logic needed for ES, FR, DE targets.
How Fily handles PowerPoint PPTX
- Run-aware extraction with formatting preserved: bold, italic, color, font, hyperlinks all survive.
- Speaker notes translated as part of every slide.
- Master slides and layouts: translated once, propagated to all dependent slides.
- Animation IDs preserved — sequences keep working.
- Charts and SmartArt: text trees extracted, translated, and reinserted in correct positions.
- Text-fit handling: long translations get auto-shrink or buffer applied to preserve slide layout.
