Gloss — PDF Translator

Translate PDFs in your browser and keep their layout. On-device with Chrome's built-in translator, or via Google or DeepL.

Gloss — PDF Translator eliminates the frustration of broken document layouts and clunky file conversions. Whether reviewing academic research, technical manuals, contracts, or foreign eBooks, Gloss translates full documents or selected sections in place. Key Features: - Flawless Layout Preservation: Text replaces seamlessly within existing columns, tables, headers, and diagrams without shifting pages out of alignment. - On-Device Chrome Translation: Translate sensitive documents completely offline using Chrome’s built-in translation API—fast, private, and free of cloud processing fees. - Provider Flexibility: Connect directly with Google Translate or your DeepL API key when you need specialized vocabulary or specific dialect support. - Inline & Full-Page Modes: Translate the entire PDF at once or highlight specific paragraphs for quick side-by-side verification. - Zero Upload Friction: Open local PDFs (file:///) or online PDFs without manually uploading files to third-party translation portals. How It Works: 1- Open any PDF in Chrome. 2- Click the Gloss icon in your toolbar. 3- Select your target language and preferred translation engine (Local On-Device, Google, or DeepL). 4- View the translated document instantly with its original formatting intact :) Privacy First: When using Chrome's on-device translation mode, your document never leaves your machine. For cloud engines (Google Translate and DeepL), data routes securely via official APIs without being stored or repurposed.
