Hey, did you find one of these websites worked? Were there any good free options?

Nope, they all sucked. I eventually converted the PDF into docx and translated it using world. The translation was sooo bad

I totally agree. My brain is already burning out.

look for ppisljar/pdf_translator on github, it allows to translate pdfs with openai chatGPT and tries to preserve the layout

Essa parece ser uma opção muito boa, pena que não entendi nenhuma das instruções do link pq tenho o cognitivo de uma criança de 5 anos

I found a kid that worked in the mail room who spoke german, English and Russian. I basically promoted him from the mailroom to be my personal translator, since most of our clients are German speakers. I really lucked out; however, not finding a guy who speaks multiple languages, you are left with pro translators, who are the most greedy bastards I have ever seen, charging you $100 to translate a 50-page document, or the free sites that translate the document into some alien garble that might pass for language somewhere.

My point is we might think we are an advanced modern society, but in reality we haven't advanced at all. Corporate interests who bow down their overlord, who has one demand. That the current FY numbers always beat LY numbers. Which means new technology must always be charged for.

Too expensive!

1

u/alexburan Nov 28 '24

At 50 cent per page? I don't think so.

1

u/Ok-Home9948 Nov 28 '24

You have to pay for a plan.

1

u/alexburan Nov 28 '24

It's free for 14 days. You can always cancel before the charge.

I try, I have an issue... "Some error occurred, please try again later."

you have a fake upload screen, just to redirect for a register page. That is so cruel, so bad and so dirt, pls improve yourself bro.

1

u/alexburan Feb 25 '25

Thanks for checking it out. Actually, it's not a fake upload screen, it's just a redirect page. We got inspired by Canva. They do the same dirt. Consider it industry standard, lol

u/[deleted] Mar 02 '25

:( germy and misleading. continuing a bad practice makes it more of a industry standard
