PDF Translator
Extract or recognize PDF text and translate it into another language, page by page.
Your PDF is processed to extract and translate its text. Scanned pages may be sent for text recognition.
01
How it works
Extract or recognize text
Existing text is used directly, while scanned pages are processed with OCR only when necessary.
Translate and download
Review the original and translated text, then copy or download the translation as UTF-8 TXT.
02
Why use OneTools
Smart hybrid extraction
Selectable text is reused and only image-based pages require text recognition.
Page-aware translation
Pages and long text chunks are translated sequentially and reassembled in document order.
Honest text output
Version one translates document content without claiming to preserve the original PDF layout.

Frequently asked questions
Does this create a translated PDF?
No. Version one provides original and translated text and downloads the translation as a TXT file.
Can it translate scanned PDFs?
Yes. Pages without usable embedded text are rendered and recognized with OCR before translation.
Does it preserve the original layout and fonts?
No. The tool preserves page order in text form, not the visual PDF layout.
Is every page sent for OCR?
No. Pages that already contain usable selectable text are not sent for OCR.
