TranslaDocs english to spanish translation unlimited words
To translate text content with TranslaDocs, you don't necessarily have to copy and paste it in a way that is inconvenient and destroys the entire layout. You can also translate an entire document. In this guide dedicated to teaching you how to use TranslaDocs properly, we explain how this feature works.
TranslaDocs offers the possibility of translating a whole document at once, keeping the layout of the document. At least for languages from the same alphabet, as conflicts can arise with Arabic for example, which is read from right to left. To correct layout errors after a translation, changing the input language of the document can help, but that is another story. Several formats are supported, and it is also possible to translate documents that are not saved on the device's storage space, but are present in the Cloud on Google Drive.
Below we detail the steps to take depending on whether you import a document or use Google Drive instead. You can translate a document written in another language into French to improve your understanding or on the contrary translate a document in French into another language to avoid doing everything by hand. For an academic paper, a resume, a cover letter or any other important document, avoid using this method, TranslaDocs is getting better and better but still has flaws.

Select the source language (you can leave "Detect language") and the target language, then click the "Translate" button. The translation will then be done, the duration of the operation varying according to the length of the document. Note that you do not get a new file with the translated document: the translation is displayed on the screen on TranslaDocs. This is enough for a simple reading or consultation, but you will have to copy and paste the text in another software to save a document on your PC.

Translate a document with TranslaDocs on mobile
Whether you have an Android smartphone or tablet, or an iPhone or iPad, it's the same: it's currently impossible to translate a document with TranslaDocs on these devices. This applies to both the application and the web page on the browser. You have to use a computer to do it.
Can't? Must it be? There is actually a trick to take advantage of this feature even while on Android, iOS or iPadOS. It's not necessarily provided by Google, but we tried it and it works. When you go to https://translate.google.com, go to your browser's menu and check the "Computer Version" box. If you can't find it, go to the help site of the browser you are using. With the page open in "Computer Version", you will find yourself with exactly the same interface and functionality as on a PC. The interface and the display are not adapted to the mobile screen format, but this is not very annoying, since the operation is very fast. Just follow the steps described in the "How to translate a document with TranslaDocs on a computer" section above, everything is exactly the same.
However, we haven't found any tips on how to translate a document from a mobile device via Google Drive. Maybe support will come for these platforms in the future. We can also hope for a better integration with Gmail for a quick and convenient translation of documents directly from your email. If anyone at Google is reading this, the message is out!
