PDF Documents

If you use the internet regularly, chances are, you have come across various PDF files many times. And with the global scope of the internet, you would have also seen PDF files written in different languages.

PDF stands for portable document format. It is a representation of two- dimensional documents where they are independent of application software, hardware, and operating system. Easier put, it is a version of a document that comes in the format of an electronic image of text and / or graphics. You can view, print, and transmit electronically but not easily edit and preserve the document.

PDF Document Translation

If you need to get a PDF document translated, it is best to get professional translation services especially on things that matter like for example, a research paper. This ensures that the document is review thoroughly . Also, that a translator with expertise on both the language and the subject matter will work on it.

A human translator will ensure that not only the text is translated, but also the cultural aspect of the document. This is especially important in legal and medical documents. The document will be proofread, and the format – including the margins, indents, and images – will be preserved.

Language Direct can help you get this without the hassle. You can simply upload the document on our website and we will give you a quote on the fees before we start the job.

However, if you’re looking to translate something less official. For example, an online brochure that is in Dutch. Or in the other hand, the Japanese manual for your digital camera, you can get a free translation online.

Free PDF Document Translation

There are many websites that offer free translation for PDF documents. The most popular, and perhaps one of the most reliable, is Google Translate .

Google Translate supports 80 languages and makes document translation easy. You do not even need to register or own Google account to use their translation tool. You simply have to go to the main page of Google Translate and paste the text in the box and click the “translate” button. In case if you want to have a document translated, you can click on “translate a document” and a new window will open allowing you to select the file that you want to translate from your computer. Double click or select the file and click open to upload your file. Then select the target language. When the job is complete, a new tab will appear with the finish text.

While this kind of PDF document translation is free, easy and convenient, there are some limitations. For starters, Google cannot translate the document that are password protected. Second, Google will not preserve the format of the document. This means that what you will get is mostly the text content. And finally, it is not advisable to upload documents that are sensitive or confidential in nature.

PDF document translation – or any kind of translation service – is always best done by a professional linguist who has the degree, accreditation and experience on the job. This ensures that the translation is accurate. You can even get your document certified, which is a requirement in some countries.
