Before you start
Are diagrams and technical specifications always translated?
Text inside images may remain unchanged. Machine translation can misread terminology or units. Check critical specifications and follow the manufacturer’s authoritative instructions; do not rely solely on this example.
Can I use scanned pages or text inside images?
The current workflow supports text-based PDFs. Scans and text embedded in images are not supported; a screenshot in an otherwise text-based document may stay in its original language.
Can I try it without an account?
Guests can preview the first 2 pages. Sign in with a verified account to continue or download. Verified accounts receive 50 free credits every 7 days; unused free credits do not roll over. Each translated text-PDF page uses one credit. A shared daily budget also applies; check the upload screen for availability. Purchases and subscriptions are unavailable.
How are my documents handled?
Document text is sent to Google Gemini for translation. Originals and results use private storage and temporary access links. This does not mean zero retention; hiding a history entry does not delete stored files or backups. Read the privacy policy before uploading confidential information.
