Translate readable PDF text between languages

Select the source and target languages, translate a supported PDF, and review the resulting document carefully.

01

Select the correct languages

Choose the source language or automatic detection and then select the language for the translated output.

02

Use readable source text

Scanned pages may need OCR first. The result rebuilds translated text in a new A4 PDF; original images, table layouts, interactive form fields and page designs are not reproduced.

03

Review the translated result

Check names, figures, dates, legal terms, and page breaks against the source before sharing or relying on the translation.

Choose languages and check the source text

The upload accepts PDFs up to 50 MiB; the language selectors offer eleven languages.

Set the source before uploading

Choose the source language or Auto detect, then a different target. This choice guides translation; automatic OCR still uses English.

Review text extracted from scans

English OCR runs only when no text is extracted anywhere. In a mixed PDF, scanned pages can remain unread. Use OCR separately and check recognized words before translation.

Prepare scanned text

Understand translation limits before uploading

Translation requires an enabled, configured AI provider and sends extracted page text to that service.

Dense pages can lose text

Only the first 24,000 characters of each source page are sent for translation. Text beyond that limit is omitted. Check dense pages for missing endings in the result.

Provider failures stop the translation

Each page has a 60-second provider timeout. A failed request or empty response stops the job; there is no translation fallback. Persistent failures need the site administrator to check provider settings.

Review the rebuilt PDF against the original

The download rebuilds translated text on A4 pages using a fixed font.

Expect new layout and page breaks

Original images, table layouts and interactive form fields are not reproduced. Longer translated text can flow onto extra pages, so output page numbers may no longer match the source.

Check wording and character rendering

Compare names, amounts and terminology with the source, including text near page endings. Check characters and text direction in your PDF reader before sharing the translation.

Frequently asked questions about Translate PDF

Practical answers about using this tool, retrieving the result, and handling your files.

Which PDF content can be translated?

Translation requires an enabled, configured AI provider and sends extracted page text to it. Choose from the languages shown in the form. Scanned pages may need OCR first; review recognition and translation errors.

Will the translated PDF keep the exact original layout?

No. Translated text is written into a new A4 PDF. Original images, table layouts, interactive form fields, fonts and page designs are not reproduced. Text wrapping can also change the page count.

Does translation change my original PDF?

No. LoveMyFiles creates a separate translated result, so the original file on your device remains unchanged.

How are my uploaded files protected?

Files are stored outside the public web directory, and downloads require the matching account or guest job identity. Guest files expire within 5 minutes, free account files within 2 hours.
