In addition to answer provided by MastergalenMastergalen and to address comments regarding newly type text:
If you will notice, that language will automatically change back whenever you start to type new text (which is very annoying), you have to change current default language for PowerPoint:
- make sure PowerPoint window is an active window
- in the
Windows Taskbar
(yes, actually not in PowerPoint), check ifLanguage bar
is visible,- if not go to
Control Panel > Region and Language > Keyboards and Languages
. ClickChange keybords...
, switch toLanguage bar
tab and checkDocked in the taskbar
option. (this is from Win7, so might be a bit different in other versions).
- if not go to
- now key action - in the
Language bar
in the taskbar, click language code and switch to EN (if you want currently to use English in PowerPoint). From now on, all new text in PowerPoint will be in the selected language :-) - if you want write in your original language, just change it back.
