The only workable, fairly efficient and free solution is rtf2latex2e. Unless you have nothing else to do with your life, and as much as I like pandoc, don't waste your time using it for this problem. So if you wanted to pandoc Word to latex you actually need GrindEQ to back your MathType down to MS EqEditor format. It will only read the old MS Equation Editor stuff. Pandoc will not handle MathType equations and I haven't found a way to make it handle Tex-converted MathType either. I've devoted what feels like thousands of hours over the past couple of years trying to make it happen. Good luck with pandoc! That was what I would have liked to use. I haven't made it handle graphics 100% perfectly. That setup causes the closest competitor (Word-to-latex) to crash immediately, even though I think it is potentially another excellent (and slightly cheaper) option. Most importantly GrindEQ runs flawlessly on 64 bit Win 10 running 64 bit Office 2016.

I have not yet tested on multi-lingual documents. I have tested it on fairly complicated lecture notes for my math stats course that include zillions of more or less complex MathType equations as well as embedded graphics. They generate clean latex that can be immediately compiled by TexStudio with no alterations (obviously you still might want to customize it, but you get accurate usable output right away). The GrindEQ utilities are the only thing that worked right out of the box. I have spent a great deal of time on the word-latex problem and have tested every solution I can dream of over the course of aboout 3 years.
