Scan & translate a document?

joe2cool

Hi I have some instructions that I need translating. Once I scan the document how can I then translate? Is their software I need?

Appreciate your help

Thx

You need someone fluent in both languages and translating between them - a translator. Online translation software will only be approximate, and if it's not immediately obvious how whatever it is works, online translation will typically just make things all the more confusing.

Try Google translate, just copy and paste small chunks (say a sentence) at a time, select your language from and language to and press Enter. Be aware that sometimes the translation is literal and can be far from what you are actually trying to say.

OCR followed by Google translate, however beware as Google translate can get you into this situation:

If you have an android phone you can photograph it in google translate, highlight it and get a translation.

This is your original post translated first to German then back to English using Google Translate:

So I wouldn't use automated translation for anything that requires accuracy
