In PowerPoint, it is possible to write text in around 40 languages. So, you can change the language in PowerPoint to any one of these.
You can not only write text in these languages but also proofread it right in PowerPoint. This is very useful if your audience understands a different language then the standard English.
The proofreading tools enable you to check and correct grammar mistakes.
