Since the launch of Parallel Translate, it has been well-received by many users, especially those who frequently handle multilingual content. We’ve also gathered valuable feedback and have taken your suggestions seriously, leading to a comprehensive upgrade of our translation features. Let’s dive into these important updates!

Expanded Language Support and AI Model Enhancements

In this update, we have significantly expanded our machine translation language support! The number of target languages has grown from 11 to over 100, while the source languages have increased from 57 to more than 100, meeting your global communication needs.

Additionally, we have integrated AI models (including ChatGPT, Haiku, and Gemini) to enhance the translation quality for more than 30 commonly used languages. This not only improves accuracy but also makes the semantics more natural, helping you easily understand complex content.

Formula Enhancement: Seamlessly Adapting to Complex Formats

Many translation tools struggle with academic documents, often failing to accurately recognize formulas and treating letters as plain text, leading to the loss of critical information.

Broader Translation Options: Now Including PPTs

Great news! We now support translating PPT formats in addition to Word, PDF, and scanned documents.

For example, if you have a training PPT, you can easily convert it into multiple languages using the Parallel Translate feature, making it easier to communicate effectively with your international team. This functionality is also perfect for product launches and marketing activities, saving you time and costs. Just upload your PPT file, select your target language, and the system will handle the translation automatically, allowing you to focus on the content without worrying about language barriers.

Better Reading Experience

While Parallel Translate allows for easy comparison between the original text and the translation, sometimes you may prefer to focus solely on the translated content. That’s why we’ve upgraded the reading mode: you can now hide the original text to concentrate on the translation without distractions. You can also freely adjust the window size—zoom in, zoom out, or view in full screen to enhance your reading flexibility.

Increased Format Support for Download

Want to save your translation results in a format that suits your needs? Previously, translated documents could only be downloaded as Docs or PDFs. With this update, we now support various formats, including Docs, Excel, Slides, PDF, TXT, and PNG.

Improved Translation History Feature

Some online translation tools do not save translation history after you close the page, meaning you would need to re-upload content for translation. Even if you manually download results, forgetting the save path or having disorganized files can make later retrieval cumbersome. WPS automatically saves each translation record, making it easy for you to access previous results.

This update further optimizes this feature. The system can now intelligently recognize identical documents, languages and LLM, retaining only a single record to avoid duplication, thus making it easier to manage your translation results.

Conclusion

This upgrade not only addresses various issues users face during the translation process but also enhances the overall experience. We are committed to making translation simpler and more efficient. Try out our new features and discover the endless possibilities of translation!
