Documents in several languages: you decide what gets translated
An apostille with text in three languages, a certificate with labels in Korean and English, a company name in English inside a document in Hebrew… Now, if the document has more than one language or repeated information, the platform asks you before translating instead of deciding on its own.
How it works when translating
When you click Continue to Translation, if there's something to decide, a window opens:
- We found more than one language: choose Translate everything into… (the recommended option) or Choose which, and for each language Translate into… or Keep original. Whatever you keep is copied exactly as it appears.
- We found repeated information, like “Nombre / Name”: Keep just one or Keep all versions. With the second one, only the version in the main language is translated and the others stay as in the original.
- With Keep just one you can Add translator’s note: it goes at the end of the document, in the target language, and you can edit it.
Click Translate to continue.
And when laying out
In a layout order you'll see We found another language. Answer Yes, it's there or No, that's a mistake and click View result. If you say no, that part is read again in the main language. This check doesn't use credits.
Good to know
- Company or institution names in another language are flagged separately: the recommendation is to leave them as in the original.
- Hanja in Korean and kanji in Japanese don't count as another language.
- It's the same window that warns you about dates and figures that change with the target country.
