SOC 2 Type II (In Progress)How document translation works
Use the DITA translator in your browser. No installation or signup is required for the free demo.
Choose the target language
Choose English or another supported language from the picker. The source language is detected from the document's text.
Upload your DITA file
Choose a .dita topic file with readable content. This uploader accepts one topic file, not an entire DITA map or documentation repository.
Download and review the result
Check terminology, element structure, IDs, references, and conditional content. Validate and build the translated topic in your documentation toolchain.
About document translation and JotMe
JotMe combines purpose-built translation and transcription tools with a broader system for multilingual teams to capture, understand, and act on conversations.
About the document translation tool
JotMe document translation is special because it keeps your file format while translating the content. Upload a PDF, Word, PowerPoint, or Excel file and download a translated document ready to share.
About JotMe
JotMe is special because multilingual operations include written files too. Document translation helps teams move contracts, decks, and reports across languages without rebuilding the document from scratch.
When to use DITA translation
Start with a representative file, review the language and structure, and test the result in the application where it will be used.
Translate a technical topic
Use a concept, task, or reference topic as a translation draft. Review technical vocabulary and complete instructions with someone who understands the product.
Check reusable content
Review conref targets, key references, IDs, and links. Content referenced from another file may not be present in the uploaded topic.
Preserve your publishing checks
Run your DITA validation and build process after translation. A file download does not prove that the documentation set resolves every reference.
Keep project context nearby
Provide reviewers with related topics and terminology. This tool translates one uploaded file and does not coordinate all topics in a documentation project.
Use cases
Use document translation to turn PDFs, Word files, decks, and spreadsheets into another language.
Contracts & reports
Translate contracts and reports without rebuilding the document.
Decks & presentations
Localize slide decks for stakeholders who work in another language.
Spreadsheets
Turn spreadsheet labels and notes into clear translations for cross-border teams.
Handouts & forms
Translate PDFs and forms for travel, HR, and customer ops.

FAQ
Can I upload a DITAMAP?
This uploader accepts .dita files, not .ditamap projects. Translate the needed topic files through an appropriate reviewed workflow.
Does this resolve external DITA references?
Do not assume referenced content is included. The workflow receives one uploaded file; check external references and reused content in the source project.
Is the result ready to publish immediately?
Review the language, markup, references, and build output before publishing, particularly for technical procedures and product specifications.
How do I translate a DITA file to English?
Select English in the target-language picker, upload the supported file, and choose Translate document. Download the translated file and review its text and structure before using it.
How large can the document be?
The uploader checks file size and text length and lets you know if your document exceeds the supported limits. Use a smaller excerpt if needed.
Does this translate my whole project?
This uploader processes one file. It does not connect to a repository, import an entire project, update your website, or publish the translated result. Download the file and review it in your own workflow.
Is the document translator free?
Try document translation for free without signing up. Upload a supported file, choose your target language, and download the translation for review.
