content: Even with machine translation you'll get strange results. You really need a translator who understands the context. Find a technical translation service nearby.

For example, Google can translate webpages on the fly when browsing with Chrome, but it won't do that with other browsers. Other limitation (in size of the document) may apply, but I didn't test for this.Try to submit the document using Chrome, or open the pdf in Chrome instead of saving it, then right click and select translate to English. I don't have Chrome, so I don't know for sure if this can work.

content: Translate "on the fly" means you can directly browse a website written in another language and see it in English. Chrome even has a pop-up that appears when another language is detected, and asking if you want to automatically translate. With Chrome, there was no need to manually go to translate.google.com and paste a link. Also, translate.google.com has a page size cap, it won't translate a page that is too big. With Chrome, the pages will be translate no matter how big they are, and no copy paste of link is required. You just browse and navigate foreign sites like they were all written in English.For those who prefer to see the pages in their original language instead of on-the-fly auto translation, Chrome also have a right click menu with "Translate to English". Chrome and Google are changing fast, but I am very sure about the page size limit when using other browser, because that was the only reason I was keeping Chrome installed for the last couple of years: webpage translations. Would be nice if Google removed the webpage size limitation for browsers other than Chrome.

content: English is my native language, bro. I know what “on-the-fly” means, and using it via the website still counts — followed links get translated too as you click them. All that Chrome does is automate this initially with the “automatically translate” popup. (I know how google chrome handles this. It’s handy, but not omnipotent.)If Chrome really can circumvent the size limit, then it’d be interesting for someone to reverse engineer the HTTP requests so that other browsers can use it, too.

content: I suspect google chrome can leverage client side screen data being available, and the website version can only attempt to proxy, with loss of some scripting.I have not checked, but does google chrome allow https translations? And when logged in?
