Translate a pdf using Google Translate

My Dad just came back from wcabq (WordCamp Albuquerque) and he and I are totally geeking out.  He discovered that you can use Google Translate to translate a PDF.  Now, in all fairness, this is not a new concept, but it is new to me, so I am excited.

I had some great conversations at WordCamp about Spanish/English websites so this is really just one more step toward a completely bilingual site.  Maybe I will get into that in a later post.  In the meantime, here is how you use Google Translate  to translate a pdf:

1.  Upload your pdf to the internet somewhere, I uploaded mine to the Media Library here on my site.

2.  Go to Google Translate

2.  Put the url for your document in the google translate box on the left and it will show up on the translated side on the right as a link.

4.  Click on the link in the right side box and Google will give you the translation.
