. Sometimes we with a document in English or another language do not understand, we translate it into English and whatever we do the translation is terrible !!... Well, a couple of problems that cause the translation is bad, first elected to the automatic translator is not required, the second problem, and not least, is that when copying a PDF file are lines of text as separate paragraphs, that is, each line is a paragraph, so that the translator translated line by line and not the entire sentence and are thus incomprehensible translation!
Y. .. How do I get the translator to translate as it should?
easy, doing what I have to say below. All you need is a little patience, an automatic translator, a text extractor (move from pdf to doc), MS Word and obviously the document file ...
- The first thing to do is move from pdf to doc, this can be done easily with an easy to use as VeryPDF PDF2Word v3.0
, or any you find.
- Once you have the document in a file. Doc, check it by looking specifically at the score used by the author, this is going to be used later to make some corrections.
If you look, you'll see what I was saying earlier, each line in the text is a separate paragraph, that is what we will correct now.
- In MS Word, go to "Edit" in the menu bar, then "Replace". Once in this window click "More." as we will use these options.
NOTE: The following steps should make them all and make no mistake. To not miss this directly copy the text in Italics
to the appropriate places. Parentheses clarify what is in each part to make it more clear.
1. Check that all options are unchecked and copy this:
- Search: ^ p ^ #
- Replace with: (none)
Eliminate page numbers. You are no longer useful. Not replaced with anything, you should not put anything in "replace with".
NOTE: If the document has more than one column you should remove them. Select everything from "Edit" and leave only one column.
2. In the window to replace:
- Search: (two spaces)
- Replace with: (a space)
Then do the same to the point, question mark and exclamation marks ...
- Search: . (dot and two spaces)
- Replace with:. (Period and space)
- Search: ? (sign of preg. And two spaces)
- Replace with: ? (Sign of preg. And a space)
- Search: ! (exclamation mark and two spaces)
- Replace with: ! (exclamation mark and a space)
corrections are only a score to make things easier later.
3. We ...
- Search: ! ^ P
- Replace with: ^ p ..
- Search: ? ^ P
- Replace with: . ^ P
Replacements to correct paragraph ends in questions or exclamations.
4. This time must check the box "Use wildcards" to follow:
- Search: . [! -Z]
- Replace with:. (Dot and three spaces)
- Search: .. [! -Z]
- Replace with: .. (Two points and three spaces)
- Search: . [! -Z]
- Replace with: . (comma, period and three spaces)
Replacements used to identify each paragraph.
5. Uncheck the box "Use Wildcards" and continue:
- Search: ^ p
- Replace with: (none)
- Search: ^ 12
- Replace with: ^ p
- Search: ^ 14
- Replace with: ^ p
Then ...
- Search: .. (2 points and 3 spaces)
- Replace with: ! ^ P
- Search:. (Comma, 3 spaces)
- Replace with: ? ^ P
- Search: . (point and 3 spaces)
- Replace with: . ^ P
This differ
everyone remaining paragraphs as the original file but with the difference that now each line is part of a respective paragraph.
This allows a more accurate translation.
If you have a spelling checker for English (or the language you want translated) use it, and that sometimes come with documentation typos.
6. The next step is to do the translation. If you have no translator software you can download the trial version that is quite accurate PROMT or any other you get.
7. You already have the translation, if you think make him a spell, put formatted and ready. Already have your document translated!
there follows each one step, not skip any because you will not get the desired result.
I hope you have found it useful. If you have any problems, comment and I'll help.
Thanks!
IF you find it difficult to follow all the steps, you can do so as
simplified here.
