How do I translate a PDF document with ChatGPT?
Extract the text of the PDF (with the Lunyce "PDF to text" or "PDF to Word" tool), then paste it into a prompt that states the target language, field and audience, and asks to keep the structure, figures and names, with a glossary. Then review the tricky terms.
How to use it
- Get the text of the document ("PDF to text", "PDF to Word", or "OCR" for a scan).
- Enter the target language, field and audience, paste the text, then copy or open the prompt.
- Reread the translation and the glossary, then recreate a PDF with "Word to PDF" or "Text to PDF".
Tips for better results
- For a long document, translate section by section, repeating the glossary each time.
- An official document (certificate, diploma, court ruling) often requires a certified translation: AI translation does not replace it.
- Have someone fluent in the target language review it before any important distribution.
Is ChatGPT translation reliable?
It is often good for everyday texts, but it can mistranslate technical or legal terms. The glossary and the list of ambiguous passages help you check; for an official document, use a certified translator.
