Hello KIC Members 

Looking to see if anyone has recommendations on a PDF reader that will translate text into another language. 

Request: Students receive reading passages in PDF form, do we have a translator tool that will translate the text into another language? 

Thanks!

I have only just started using the AI translation feature in Canva. However, if you're on the main page, in the "What will you design today?" box there is an "upload" option. A PDF can be uploaded there. You can then find "Translate" in the app area on Canva. There are many languages to choose from. 

For example, I took a PDF excerpt from Wonder. It then gave me the English Page and the Arabic page.

I would try https://www.anthropic.com/index/claude-2

You can upload documents there and it has more capability for longer responses than ChatGPT. I assume you'll still have a human proofread it, but it seems to do quite well.

If they are uncomplicated texts - upload to Google Drive, right click "Open with Google Docs" and then Tools "Translate" and get a translated editable version.

I might be missing a need. But that seems pretty slick.
