Documentation - Translation Tool
Our translation model is evolving...!
... and while we're learning, we're allowing users to translate PDF files for free!
Although translation to/from most languages should produce an output, the quality of the translations will be best for pairs between English, German, French, Italian, Portuguese, Hindi, Spanish, and Thai. More languages coming soon!
You might see some quirks
You may notice odd phrasing, overlapping text, or illustrative, bubble, and decorated fonts misidentified as images in the output. We are actively working to fix this. In addition, automated moderation may affect or prevent the translation of certain content types.
What then?
Here are your options for editing the output:
- Open the PDF in Canva (free account required) or a PDF editor of your choice.
- Open the SVG in Inkscape or Lunacy (both free) or an SVG editor of your choice.
While Canva's intuitive editor is easy to use, importing PDFs might result in poorly rendered text and graphics due to Canva's conversion process. Uploading SVG files won't resolve this; Canva treats them as uneditable images. For best results, do your post-translation editing in an SVG editor.
