Google Slides Add-on Help

Draft guide for setting up and using the PotentELL Google Slides translator.

Quick Start

  1. Open your Google Slides presentation.
  2. Go to Extensions and open the PotentELL add-on.
  3. Choose your source and target languages.
  4. Run translation and review slides before sharing.

Common Issues

  • Add-on not visible: refresh Slides and check you are signed into the correct Google account.
  • Permission errors: reopen the add-on and accept all required Google permissions.
  • Some text not translated: check for locked elements or text inside images.

Best Practices

  • Keep original copy in slide notes for easy teacher reference.
  • Use consistent fonts that support accented characters.
  • Preview each translated slide in presentation mode before class.

Free‑tier limits

  • Maximum of two target languages per account.
  • Up to five total slide translations per calendar month.
  • Every translation application includes a PotentELL watermark in the lower-left corner of the slide.

Paid plans (Teacher Pro, AI Power, school and district licenses) provide unlimited slide/document translation and remove the PotentELL watermark.
