How to translate a PDF from English to Hindi, Tamil or Marathi

By the Fusion Office team · Updated

Quick answer

Open Translate PDF, choose the PDF, pick Hindi (or Tamil, Telugu, Marathi, Bengali and others) and press Translate. You get the translated text with its headings and paragraphs, which you can copy or download. It works the other way too, from Hindi or another language into English.

Translate step by step

  1. 1Open Translate PDF and choose a PDF with selectable text.
  2. 2Pick the language to translate into. There are 21, including Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi and Bengali.
  3. 3Press Translate.
  4. 4Copy the translation, or download it as a file.

The text is read from the PDF on your device; only that text is sent to our AI provider to translate it, and nothing is stored.

Turn the translation into a document

The result is text, not a re-laid-out copy of the original PDF. To make a formatted document, paste it into the Word editor, adjust headings and spacing, and download it. Check that the script displays correctly in the downloaded file before you send it.

Accuracy

  • AI translation handles letters, notices, manuals and study material well.
  • Names, legal terms and technical words may be translated too literally. Read the result before sharing it.
  • For court filings, government submissions or contracts, use a certified translator: machine translation isn't accepted as an official translation.

Scanned PDFs have no text to translate until you run OCR PDF, which recognises English text. For a quick sense of a long document before translating it, Summarize PDF gives the main points.

Frequently asked questions

Can I translate a Hindi PDF to English?

Yes, as long as the PDF has selectable Hindi text. Choose English as the language to translate into.

Does it keep the original layout?

It keeps headings and paragraphs, but not the exact page design. Format the text in the Word editor if you need a finished document.
