Need a PDF translated into a language you can read? To decrypt PDF files across languages, use Google Translate on the web. We’ll demonstrate how.
The popular PDF software Acrobat Reader from Adobe does not have a translation feature.
Google Translate: How to Scan and Translate a Picture
Use the Google Translate website to translate your PDF file without downloading an app. You can upload a file, have the file’s contents translated, and then copy the translated text to your clipboard.
This technique prevents you from downloading your PDF’s translated version directly. The translated text can be manually copied, or you can use Chrome or Firefox to save the page as a PDF.
The latter won’t preserve your original PDF formatting. Furthermore, your PDF file must be 10 MB in size or less. Additionally, you can upload documents in the following formats: DOC, DOCX, ODF, PPT, PPTX, PS, RTF, TXT, XLS, and XLSX.
Open a web browser on your computer and start the Google Translate website before you can utilize the Google Translate method.
Choose the PDF’s source language in the left pane of the “Documents” tab. If unsure, click the “Detect Language” button to let Google figure it out.
Select the language you want to translate your PDF to in the pane on the right. To upload your PDF to the website, click “Browse Your Computer” in the middle of the page.
The default “Open File” window on your PC will appear. Double-click the PDF to import it by navigating to the folder where it is saved in this window.
To begin translating your PDF file, use the “Translate” or “Download Translate” button.
The translated version of your PDF will appear in your browser window.
Use your mouse or keyboard to select the text you want to copy, then right-click it and choose “copy” from the menu that appears. Paste the text into any text file you like after that. You can also save the current web page in Firefox if you’re using that browser, or you may save it as a PDF in Chrome.
And that’s how you create a PDF that you can read for yourself!
