Document translation

Whether expanding your global presence or catering to a diverse user base, document translation facilitates a broader understanding of your content by audiences worldwide. This feature is a cloud-based service that enables seamless and efficient language translation within documents. It’s powered by Oracle machine translation models that Oracle products have used extensively since 2018 to perform language-related operations, including language translation. This document translation feature can translate the following supported document types with the flexibility to specify custom glossaries enabling customization of the translation engines:

  • Microsoft Office: DOCX, PPTX, XLSX
