Machine translations of documents
Read documents in another language using Vulgate's built-in translation.
May 21, 2026
Vulgate can translate a document into your preferred language right inside the document viewer.
Translate a whole document
- Open the document in the Library viewer.
- Open the language menu in the document header.
- Under Machine translations, pick a target language.
- Vulgate translates the document in the background. The first translation can take a minute for long documents; subsequent reads are instant.
Add a second language tab to read side by side; close tabs to view one language only.
Languages
Vulgate's machine translation supports dozens of languages, including English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, and Portuguese. For high-stakes work, treat the output as a draft that a human translator can refine.
Behind the scenes
Translations are generated by Vulgate's built-in AI translation (powered by a Google Gemini model). See Is my data used to train AI? for the broader data-handling story.
