In this chapter, you learned how to develop a text translation application that can translate text from a Microsoft Word file into a target language selected by the user. The chapter covered the integration of Microsoft Word with the ChatGPT API using Python.

We learned how to use Tkinter to create a user interface for the text translation application. The user interface comprised a simple and user-friendly design that included a drop-down menu, with a list of languages to translate to, and a Browse button that allowed users to select a Word file.
