Very recently, Google Translate capabilities were increased. Google added the option to the Google Translate which will allow it to translate the uploaded documents as well. Previously what you were allowed to do is to either copy the text in Google Translate, or you could upload the document online and paste its address in order to translate it.

However the bad side to it is that it converts your document to HTML and then it translates the HTML file. I say bad because translating into HTML does not preserve the document layout and the embedded images as well.

The files that you can upload include

  • Word Documents
  • PowerPoint Presentations
  • PDF files
  • HTML files
  • Text files

Considering the layout andthe images problem, is the recent added  capability what the user were looking for.
