step_by_step
The working process
-
1
Inventory the source set
Separate PDF, DOCX, TXT, and Markdown files that belong in the run. Remove obsolete copies and identify documents containing legal, medical, financial, or safety-critical wording that need qualified review.
-
2
Prepare terminology rules
Write down product names, people, abbreviations, phrases that must remain unchanged, and preferred translations. Consistency cannot be recovered reliably after an uncontrolled batch.
-
3
Configure your provider and model
In Batch Translate Text with any AI, choose the provider and model appropriate to the language pair and document sensitivity. Run a representative sample before the full folder.
-
4
Choose the target languages
Set one or more targets and confirm how outputs will be named and separated. Keep each language easy to identify without opening the files.
-
5
Run the batch and keep the sources
Translate the folder, monitor progress, and save results locally. Preserve the original documents beside—not inside—the translated output structure.
-
6
Review meaning, not only fluency
Compare headings, numbers, names, instructions, links, warnings, and specialist terminology with the source. Natural-sounding text can still be materially wrong.

Review before you call it finished
- Were obsolete or duplicate sources excluded?
- Is terminology consistent across documents?
- Are names, numbers, links, and warnings accurate?
- Did a qualified person review high-risk content?

Limits and privacy
Practical limitation
AI translation can omit, soften, invent, or misinterpret content. It is not a substitute for qualified translation when errors could cause legal, financial, medical, or safety consequences.
Privacy boundary
Source content is sent to the external AI provider you select. Provider keys are encrypted locally, and translated files are saved on your PC rather than a 3thousand30 cloud.

Questions worth answering
Does translation run completely offline?
No. The app and saved files are local, but the document content selected for translation is sent to your chosen AI provider.
Which source formats can be batched?
The workflow supports PDF, DOCX, TXT, and Markdown documents.
