translate-documentsIf you have a lot of documents sitting on your computer that you can’t read because they are in a different language – Google translate has just the right solution for you. Today few blogs has reported that Google Translate has added in the feature that allows you to upload your document and let it translate your document on the fly! This was definitely a must needed feature because previously we had to use different hacks or 3rd party services to translate an entire document in the language of our choice.

How to Translate your Document using Google Translate

Google has made it very easy to translate your document using Google Translate. Simply visit the Google Translate website – http://translate.google.com and click on the link “upload a document“, this will immediately bring on an extra input field where you will be able to browse and select your document from your computer.

I have personally tested this service and I’m quite happy with it. The only thing that sort of bothered me is the loss of formatting once the document is translated into a foreign language. The reason it happens is because, Google first converts the document into HTML and then translates it to your desired language. But at least even with the broken formatting, the documents are pretty readable.

But I’m wondering if this can be improved in some way. So what’s your thought on this? Please share in comments.

Hi Shawns

Thanks for your comment.

Which translation service you use then? I tried Yahoo Bablefish and the New Bing Translate. So far Google game me the best results.

But then again this depends on the language that you are translating to/from.

Cheers
