How to translate a RTF
Upload the RTF and get it back translated, whole, keeping the text in the order it was written.
RTF is the format everything can open, which is why it is what people export to when they do not know what the other side uses.
From a RTF to another language, step by step
- 1
Upload the document
Drag the RTF in. The text is pulled out of it — you do not have to copy it into a box or export it to anything else first.
- 2
We count the characters
The price is the number of characters, counted before anything runs, so you know what it costs before waiting.
- 3
It is translated
Whole, in order, into as many of the fourteen languages as you asked for.
What you get
- The full text, translated, in the order it was written.
- As many of the fourteen languages as you asked for.
- Each language as its own file.
What it costs
40 € per million characters
A million characters is around 170,000 words, or a book. Most documents are a fraction of a cent — a twenty-page report is a few céntimos.
The text is what travels: layout, images and tables come back as the text they contain, not as a rebuilt copy of the original. A PDF that is only scanned images has no text to pull and cannot be translated this way.
Questions people ask
- Do I get the RTF back with its layout?
- No, and this is the honest answer rather than the flattering one: what comes back is the translated text, not your document rebuilt. If the layout has to survive, translate the text and pour it back into your own template.
- Is there a size limit for a RTF?
- The price is per character and it is counted first, so a long document costs more but does not fail for being long. Anything unusually large, tell us and we will look at it.
- Is what I upload kept?
- The file is used to do the job and is not kept afterwards, nor used to train anything. What was in your document stays yours.
