normally every tuesday and friday this is an example three page pdf document which i want
to translate from english to my native language which is urdu and to do that i login to my google
docs you need to have a gmail account in order to get access to google documents and now i click on
file open and the pdf document is stored on my computer therefore i click on upload and then
select a file from your device now this is the example pdf i click on that and i click on open
and it will take few seconds and then it will open my pdf document in this window and there
is a button here open with i click on that and now i can open this in one of the extensions which is
gami and i also have an option to open in google docs so i click on that and now my pdf document
has converted to google docs as you can see and google docs has done a wonderful job of converting
all the text into editable text as you can see here then you can run a spell check if you have
installed grammarly extension or any other spell checker but our purpose is to translate pdf to do
that i click on this tools and translate document and now it will show me a dialog box where i can
put a name of this document so i want to translate this pdf from english to urdu so i would say urdu
dash whatever is the name of the pdf file and then i click on this choose a language and i
scroll down until i find this urdu i click on that and then i simply have to click translate
and in less than 3 seconds my new document is ready which is a translation of my pdf file
and it is a good practice to double check if you are a native speaker of that language you must
check your document because there could be some small mistakes another important thing you might
notice is that this is my page number and some text is underneath my page number and this happens
because my original pdf has these page numbers and this is in a different language now when
i got this translation there could be many factors affecting this the text line height
the style of the language and the line spacing this language may contain different number of
words when the pdf is translated so there could be many factors affecting your page number location
so now what you need to do is you have to simply remove these page numbers so i select this and i
press delete and also this last one and now we will set these page numbers in google document to
do that i click on insert page numbers and now i get various styles of my page numbers for example
this style says that the page number will start from the first page while this style will start
the page numbers from the second page because in most situations your first page or the title page
will be slightly different you can also click on these more options and you can select whether you
want to put your page numbers in header or footer so i want to put my page numbers in footer so i
select this and i click apply and now these page numbers will appear in the footer area once you
are in this area you can also select for example this center option and the page number will appear
in the center or you can select left side whatever you wish to select once you are inside this footer
area and now we have these page numbers so this is how you translate pdf from one language to another
and then you can do these minor adjustments and if you want to get this document in a pdf you can
simply click on file download and pdf document and i'm going to save this and now if i open
this i have this translated pdf document so you start from a pdf file translate pdf and get a pdf
