Translate a document when copying it paragraph by paragraph would take all afternoon: a lease, a letter from a bank, a school report, a work contract you want to understand before you sign, instructions that came in another language. Drop a Word, PDF or plain text file, pick the language, and get the translated file back.
Word files are translated in place. Styles, fonts, tables, images, headers, footers and footnotes stay where they were; only the words change. That means you can print the result or forward it without fixing the layout by hand.
PDFs work a bit differently. The tool takes out the text, headings, lists and tables, translates them and builds a Word file. The page layout of the original, with columns and exact positions, doesn't carry over, and the result is a .docx, not a PDF. Scanned PDFs work too: the pages are read first and then translated, up to 30 pages per file. For a PDF on its own, there is a separate PDF translator page with the same engine.
You can drop files up to 95 MB with up to 50,000 characters of text, about 20 pages. Older formats such as .doc, .odt and .rtf can't be translated yet; open them in Word or LibreOffice and save as .docx first. A few pages usually take about half a minute: in our tests a 3-page PDF with text took 12 seconds, a Word form 36 seconds and a 3-page scan 44 seconds.
The file is processed on our server and deleted from there after 24 hours. The translated document is saved in your library, inside this browser.
AI does the translating. For a contract, a court document or anything you will hand in to an embassy or a government office, have the result checked by a person who knows both languages: this is a working translation to understand and use, not a certified one.
