Text expansion
A concise English phrase may become much longer in another language and overflow its box.

01
Headline hierarchy
The main claim remains distinct from supporting copy.
02
Chart labels
Short labels stay connected to the right visual.
03
Product names
Brand and feature terms can remain consistent.
Illustrative preview · Text expansion still needs visual review
DECK-SPECIFIC RISKS
A good translation still has to fit the slide.
Presentation language is short, visual and tightly constrained by each text box.
02
Message hierarchy
Headlines, proof points and footnotes must keep their intended visual priority.
03
Brand voice
Product names, taglines and calls to action should not vary from slide to slide.
MESSAGING EXAMPLE
Keep product language deliberate.
Use a marketing scenario or custom glossary for product names, metrics and phrases that should remain untranslated.
Example only. Final slide copy often benefits from native-language editing for brevity and tone.

SLIDE REVIEW CHECKLIST
What to inspect before presenting
Read the words and look at the slide; both are part of the translation.
Overflow and wrapping
Check titles, callouts, buttons and narrow chart labels on every slide.
Figures and metrics
Verify currencies, percentages, dates, units and KPI definitions.
Brand and product names
Confirm protected names, capitalization and phrases that stay in the source language.
Narrative flow
Present the deck aloud to test whether the translated story still connects slide to slide.
WORKFLOW
Translate first, then refine the presentation
Use the translated PPTX as an editable starting point for final copy and design review.
01 · UPLOAD
Add the editable deck
Upload the original PPTX rather than a PDF export whenever possible.
02 · TRANSLATE
Apply brand terminology
Select a marketing context and add protected product names to your glossary.
03 · REFINE
Preview and edit
Check the preview, export, then tighten copy and layout in PowerPoint.
Important boundary
Standard editable PPTX files can return as editable slides. If a deck is built from slide images, the output may be a PDF and text inside images may not be editable. Always inspect the preview.

FAQ
Pitch deck translation FAQ
Will the translated PowerPoint remain editable?
For standard editable PPTX files, the workflow returns editable slides. Image-based decks may produce PDF output instead, so check the preview before proceeding.
Can TransQ prevent all text overflow?
No automatic process can guarantee that every longer translation fits a fixed text box. Review each slide and refine copy or layout after export.
Can I keep product names untranslated?
A custom glossary can specify protected names and preferred equivalents on eligible plans. Verify them in the final deck.
Should I upload PPTX or PDF?
Upload the original PPTX when you need editable slides. A PDF is useful as a visual reference but does not expose the same editable structure.
Test the busiest slide in your deck. See what needs refinement.
A slide with charts, labels and tight text boxes gives you a realistic preview of the final editing effort.
