Our Document Translation feature allows you to seamlessly add or generate translations for your documents directly within the platform. You can either upload your own pre-translated files or use our AI tool to translate documents automatically.
Before getting started, please keep the following details in mind:
AI Supported Languages: English (GB), Dutch (NL), French (FR), and German (DE).
File Support: Currently, only PDF files are supported.
Translation Limits: You can add up to 2 translations per original document. There is no limit on the total number of documents you can translate across your account.
Visibility: Document translations are currently not shared. Receivers of your documents will need to generate their own translations.
No Mass Translation: AI translation must be requested individually per document.
Uploading an Existing Translation
If you already have a translated version of a document, you can manually attach it to the original file.
Navigate to your Documents list and click on the relevant original document to open the Document details tab.
Locate the Translations section in the details pane.
Click the + (plus) button and select Upload.
Choose the file from your computer and select the corresponding language.
Once uploaded, the translation will appear as a clickable language chip under the Translations section.
Generating an AI Translation
Our proprietary AI translation tool is designed for you to produce transaltion results within Interu directly.
Navigate to your Documents list and click on the relevant document.
In the Translations section, click the + (plus) button and select AI translate.
Choose your target language from the dropdown menu (Dutch, English, French, or German).
Click Translate. A loading indicator will appear on the new language chip while the translation processes in the background.
Once complete, the chip will become clickable, allowing you to view the translated text.
Notes for AI Translation:
Beta Testing: This feature is still in beta, hence, the quality of translations are subject to change.
Formatting: Due to how our proprietary AI processes text, some of the original document's visual formatting may be lost in the translated version.
Same-Language Warning: There are currently no guardrails preventing you from translating a document into its original language (e.g., translating an English PDF into English). Please double-check your target language before clicking Translate.
Failed Translations: If an AI translation fails or the quality is unsatisfactory, simply delete it and try again.
Viewing and Navigating Translations
You can easily check which documents have translations directly from your main dashboard.
List View: Check the Translations column in your main Documents list to see available translations at a glance.

Preview Tabs: Click on a translation chip to open the document previewer. You can seamlessly toggle back and forth between the translated text and the source text using the Original and [Language] tabs located in the top right corner of the header.
Deleting a Translation
If you uploaded the wrong file or are unhappy with an AI-generated result, you can easily remove the translation.
Click on the translation chip from the Document details pane to open the previewer.
In the top right header, click the three dots (...) next to the active translation tab.
