Adam LaMontagne — Fri, 06 Feb 2026 12:33:51 GMT

Language Weaver (Cloud) version 1.3.9530.30361 updates:

- Word Only: when translating the full document, send the complete document to Language Weaver, instead of extracted text. This ensures identical results in the add-in and the web interface. It can also improve the quality of the output, since the server uses the latest file filters.
- cancelling a translation also cancels the connected server job.
- Fixed: users in a role that has no dictionary privilege got an error message after a successful login.
- Fixed: some azure SSO logins didn't connect
- Fixed: in side by side display, the windows could be the wrong size or zoom mode
- Fixed: Excel: selecting a whole column caused a crash
- Fixed: in some setups, users has to log on again each 24 hours. The add-in now automatically renews in the background.

Does MS Edge Office connector of outlook translate attachements or just the message?

I have a number of attachements in an email. Will they be translated or only the message body?

Thanks
