01 / CHOOSE A DOCUMENT

Read your document locally

No file upload

Choose a PDF, Office document, HTML, EPUB, Markdown or text file (up to 50 MB). You can also skip this step and paste text below.

PDF page range and scanned-page language

Other-language scans need readable text first. Language detection for translation happens after text extraction.

02 / TRANSLATE & COMPARE

Translate to English, with the original beside it

Choose a document above or paste text below. Cloud mode detects the source language and translates it to English. Review both texts side by side.

Supported languages and conversion limits

Automatically detect supported languages, including Spanish, Japanese and Chinese. Choose the source language manually if detection is incorrect. There is no document character limit or daily character quota; long text is processed in segments. Keep this tab open until it finishes. Scanned-file OCR supports English and Simplified Chinese only. Code, metadata, tables and image references stay unchanged. Formatting may change; review machine translations. Safari and iPhone have not been verified on real devices.

Clicking “Translate to English” sends this text to Alibaba Cloud for translation. Your original file stays on this device. Privacy

The bilingual ZIP includes original.md, english.md and comparison.html. Open comparison.html to read both columns or use your browser’s Print / Save as PDF. English document export uses the existing Word, PDF and other export options below.

03 / EXPORT ENGLISH

Export the English document

Paste Markdown and export a basic document locally.

Basic exports may change formatting. Word export may lose list numbering, links and images. Excel exports each Markdown table to a separate sheet; PowerPoint uses headings for slides. Review exported documents before using them.
