I am aware of DeepL but I was hoping to find another option that works well to translate PDFs and other docs to English in a privacy respecting way. And that doesn’t cost or doesn’t too much.
Please share your solutions. Any help is much appreciated! Thank you.
If you only want to translate the text, without formatting, try LM Studio, and use models like Gemma 3.
Edit: If it forms a part of legal document and you need to follow a list of glossaries, that might also work, but you will need to double check the consistency.
Depending on the length of your document, you might need to set a large context length, e.g. 60-80k.
