Translates an uploaded PDF or document into your language, then adjusts it in chat
The problem it solves
A supplier sends you a ten-page PDF in a language you don't read, and you need the gist today.
For People handling foreign documentsSmall business ownersSupport teams
- Before
- You copy the text page by page into a translation site and lose track of what you've done.
- After
- You upload the file, name the language, get the translation in the chat, and ask for changes in plain words.

Overview
File Translation is an official Dify chat template. You upload a document and type the language you want; Dify extracts the text and an AI model translates it. In follow-up messages you can ask for a different tone, terms or style, and it translates the document again with those preferences. It suits people who need a quick working translation of a report, letter or manual.
You can steer the translation in plain follow-up messages, such as keeping product names in English, instead of starting over.

How it works
From the creator's documentation.
| Step | What happens | Data goes to |
|---|---|---|
| 1 · Upload | You upload a document and type the target language | Dify (cloud or your own) |
| 2 · Extract text | Dify pulls the text out of the file | Dify (cloud or your own) |
| 3 · Translate | An AI model translates the text into your language | Your AI provider |
| 4 · Refine | Follow-up messages on tone, terms or style trigger a new translation | Your AI provider |
Good to know
Get a working translation of a document in the language you name, then refine it by chatting. The template extracts the text first, so the translation follows the document's wording rather than its layout.
Limits
- Text is extracted from the file before translation, so scanned pages or complex layouts may not come through fully. The translation comes back as text in the chat, not as a formatted file.
- Have a fluent speaker check anything you will publish or sign.
