Google’s current translation service has just gone a step further. Not only can you translate text, or a web page, but now you can translate PDF files that are on the internet. Simply enter in the URL for the PDF file and google will use it’s PDF->HTML conversion tools to convert the document to an HTML page and then performs the translate. As with its typical translation service you can highlight translated paragraphs to see what the original text was and fix or correct the translation so that the translation engine can improve itself.
For fun, I thought I would translate my online resume from English to Spanish. Check it out for yourself at: John Andersen’s Resume in Spanish.
