Translate documents and keep the formatting
Upload a file, pick the language and download the same document translated.
Your file is not uploaded. Only the text goes to Google Translate.
How to use it
- Choose the file or drop it on the green area.
- Check the source language. "Detect" recognizes it for you.
- Pick the target language and click Translate.
- When it finishes, the translated file downloads with the language code in its name, for example report.es.docx.
How it works
Each format is translated from the inside, with no copy and paste. In Word, the text of every paragraph changes while styles, tables, images, headers and footers stay the same. In Excel, text cells are translated and numbers and formulas are left alone. In PowerPoint, slides and speaker notes are translated.
PDF is the exception: it comes back as a Word document, because a PDF cannot be edited. In .srt and .vtt subtitles only the dialogue is translated and the timing stays the same.
Accepted formats: Word (.docx), Excel (.xlsx), PowerPoint (.pptx), PDF, subtitles (.srt, .vtt), text (.txt), Markdown (.md) and .csv. The maximum is 50 MB per file.
