In my PP. I need text in 3 languages. I could have 3 PP files but will
prefeer text layers so i only have one PP file. How to have kind of text
layers?
 
There is a method you could use to do quick language changes of the single
presentation.

Advantages:
Single presentation
Change of languages in a moment
Add new translations easily

Disadvantages:
Links can break
Longer creation time
Link warning messages


Build your presentation using your native language.
Create an Excel Sheet with all of Column A values set to Colum B (In Cell
A1: = B1, In A2 = B2, etc.)
For each text frame, copy the text to column B of an excel worksheet
Replace the text frame in the presentation with a link to the corresponding
Cell in the Excel sheet ( Make sure you use the column A link)

For each new language, add the text in the next open column
To change languages, replace the values in column A to =C1 (save the Excel
file) then update links in PowerPoint
