    The Subtitle Settings dropdown menu in PowerPoint. The Spoken Language is set to English
  2. Use Spoken Language to see the voice languages that PowerPoint can recognize, and select the one you want. This is the language that you will be speaking while presenting.

  3. Use Subtitle Language to see which language PowerPoint can display on-screen as captions or subtitles. This is the language of the text that will be shown to your audience. By default, this will be the same language as your Spoken Language. You can change it to a different language, meaning that translation will occur.
