Two panels. English: a lease’s section 4. Deposit, with its paragraph on returning one month’s rent within twenty-one days. German, same place and size: the same section translated, 4. Kaution: Eine Kaution von einem Monat Miete wird für die Laufzeit gehalten.
Each passage in German, where the English stood.

Translate in four steps

  1. Open your PDF. Choose it in Translate PDF; it works out the document’s language.
  2. Pick a language. Under Translate into, choose one; the first time, the button downloads it, such as Download German.
  3. Choose the pages: All pages, This page, or a range under Pages….
  4. Download the PDF. It’s a new file, such as “Lease (German).pdf”, and your original isn’t changed.

Good to know

  • Languages. It reads English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian and Finnish, and writes those and Arabic and Persian.
  • Text is never cut off. A passage that can’t fit stays in the original language, listed under Kept in the original language.
  • Limits. Up to 100 pages a run. A scan needs its text recognised first, which Translate offers to do on your device.
  • One word wrong? Retype it in the same font. Beyond Translate, there are 45 single-purpose tools at pdfeditor.page/tools.
