PDF File Translation
SYSTRAN 5.0 provides a right-click command for translating Portable
Document Format (PDF) files from the Windows Explorer desktop or directory
window. To use this feature:
1. Right-click on the PDF File you want to translate.
2. In the Contextual menu, click the sub-menu > Translate to select
the language pair you want to translate (for example, Translate
English->Spanish).
. A progress bar which tracks the translation process then appears. When
the translation is completed, an RTF file named with the abbreviation of
the language pair used is automatically created in the same director y
as the original file. In other words, if you translated the filename
“Bus_Dev_Q4.doc” from English->Spanish, the name of the newly
created file is “Bus_Dev_Q4_enes.rtf”.
. Optional: To improve the quality of your translations:
Click the Translation Options menu to activate translation options such
as spell-checking or markup of Not Found Words (words not found in
SYSTRAN’s main dictionaries).
5. If you performed the option in step 4 above, click the Translate button
again to view the new results. You may repeat steps 3 and 4 until the
desired translation is achieved.
Note: PDF file translation is limited to the first 8 pages of your document.
Translate PDF documents directly from the Windows Explorer desktop
or directory window.
