Troubleshooting
If you're unable to install Translator, your mailbox might be hosted on an unsupported version of Microsoft Exchange. If you're using Translator with a Microsoft 365 account, you'll need a mailbox that's hosted on Exchange 2013 or later. Check with your IT department (commercial users) or Internet Service Provider (consumer users).
Your Exchange admin must allow add-ins to be activated before you can install Translator. Add-in activation is explained in Manage user access to add-ins for Outlook.
