Transmonkey for translating documents and media

Transmonkey offers separate translation workflows for documents, images, text and video. Start with the format you need to deliver. Translating a Word document calls for a layout check, while a video with translated subtitles needs a timing check and a review of the spoken meaning.

Check the layout of a translated document

The publisher lists PDF, Word, Excel and PowerPoint workflows and describes keeping the original layout. Test that with a short file containing a heading, a table and a paragraph. Translation can change the length of a sentence, so inspect line wraps, page breaks and table cells in the downloaded result. For a slide deck, read the text at presentation size and watch for labels that now wrap or overlap.

Review text that sits inside an image

The image translator replaces original text in the picture according to the publisher. Check any small text or decorative lettering against the source image. If the result is intended for a product listing, compare the translated label with the written product information you already use. Leave enough space in the layout for a longer translation if you need to refine it elsewhere.

Choose subtitles or dubbed audio

The video workflow offers transcription, translated subtitles and audio dubbing. Preview the clip with the subtitles enabled and listen for sections where speech overlaps with music or another speaker. Verify names, technical terms and numbers against the original before sharing it. The publisher says new users get trial credits and lists credit packs and subscriptions for extended use. Check the current options before translating several long files.
