Translation Languages

You can translate documents into 38 target languages, from a chat with Assistant or with the Translate button in the document viewer. We detect the source language automatically, and you can choose between Quick and Genius translation when Genius is enabled for your firm.

Supported Target Languages

Pick the target language from the Translate to list, or name it when you ask Assistant to translate. For languages with regional variants (English, Portuguese, Spanish, and Chinese), choose the exact variant.

Source-only languages

You can translate documents from Bengali, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, Nepali, Punjabi, Sinhala, Tamil, Telugu, and Urdu, but not into them. Every target language above can also be a source language.

Marathi

Marathi appears in the language list, but Quick translation often can't translate documents to or from Marathi. When that happens, the translation fails with the message "Marathi is not supported for document translation."

Quick and Genius Translation

Quick translation is the default and works for every supported file type. If your firm has Genius translation enabled, you can choose it for PDF and Word (.docx) files.

Quick: fast translation for most documents.
Genius: advanced translation for scanned documents, complex layouts, and non-Latin scripts. Genius detects the source language itself.

With Genius, pick an Output format:

PDF: keeps the original page appearance, with translated text placed over the original pages.
Word (DOCX): a new editable Word document. Original images and page appearance are not preserved.

Supported Document Formats

Quick translation works with these formats:

Word documents: .docx, .doc
Presentations: .pptx
Spreadsheets: .xlsx
PDF: .pdf
Web formats: .htm, .html
Text files: .txt

Genius translation supports only .pdf and .docx. Other file types always use Quick translation.

How Translation Works

You can start a translation in two places.

From a folder

Open the document from the Folders view.
Click Translate in the viewer header.
Choose a Source language (or leave it on Auto-detect) and a Translate to language.
If Genius is available, choose a Mode and, for Genius, an Output format.
Click Translate.

Translation runs in the background, so you can close the dialog and keep working. When it finishes, we save the translated file to the same folder and show a confirmation. You can run one translation per document at a time.

From a chat

Attach the documents to an Assistant chat and ask for a translation, naming the target language. Translated files are accessible to all members of that chat.

Translations started from a folder follow the folder's sharing. Standalone translations are only accessible to the user who created them.

Auto-Detection of Source Language

You do not need to specify the source language. We detect it from the document content. If detection picks the wrong language, choose the correct one under Source language in the Translate dialog (Quick translation only).

Troubleshooting

No documents provided for translation

Attach documents to your request before asking for translation. The translation tool requires source documents to process.

No valid documents to translate

The attached files may not be in a supported format. Check that your documents are in one of the supported formats listed above.

Translation unavailable for this language pair

The requested translation may not be supported. Try a different target language or check that you are using the correct language code.

Genius translation isn't enabled for my account

Genius translation is only available when your firm has it enabled. Use Quick translation instead, or contact your administrator.

The Translate button is disabled

The document already has a translation in progress. Wait for it to finish; we save the result to the folder automatically.

Best Practices

Use shared chats or folders for team translations: Translations created in a shared chat or folder are accessible to everyone with access to it.
Use Genius for scans and complex layouts: If your firm has it enabled, Genius handles scanned PDFs, complex layouts, and non-Latin scripts better than Quick translation.
Specify regional variants: For English, Portuguese, Spanish, and Chinese, choose the specific regional variant to match your target audience.
