You can have a document from My documents translated into another language – for example, a contract or a letter. The translation is carried out using Microsoft Azure AI Translator and is processed in an EU-compliant manner.

How to Translate

  1. Open My documents and locate the document.
  2. Right-click on the document → "Translate".
  3. Select the target language. The source language is detected automatically.
  4. Confirm. The translation will be created and stored directly next to the original under My documents.

What is Preserved

  • PDF and Word files are translated while preserving the layout – the structure, tables, and formatting remain as close to the original as possible.
  • Other file types are returned as a PDF containing the translated text.
  • The translation is linked to the original document and is marked under My documents with the label "Machine translated".

Important to Understand

  • This is a machine translation. It is not a certified translation and does not bear a lawyer's seal. Please review the result before any important use.
  • A translation costs tokens. The exact price will be displayed to you in the dialog before initiating the process – this live display is always authoritative (Credits: The credit system).
  • If the exact same document has already been translated into the same language, the existing translation will be reused (no new deduction).
