Advanced options for better translations
Advanced mode lets you shape the result. Set the formality, choose between quality and speed, and add a short context description such as "legal contract between two parties" to guide the translation. The context itself is not translated.
- Formality control for languages with formal and informal registers
- Glossaries for consistent terminology
- Preserve Formatting to keep your punctuation and capitalization
- Preserve Tags to translate HTML without breaking markup
Keep and share your translations
Your translation history is saved so you can return to earlier work, and you can star translations to keep them in Favourites. Download results as a plain text file, Word document or PDF, or share them via link, email or X.
Translating whole documents?
For longer files, use the PDF translator. It accepts PDF and Word documents of any length up to 300 MB and keeps the original layout.
