Translate PDF Files and Office Documents

There has been a recent change: Google Translate can now be used to translate PDF files and Microsoft Office documents. Google first converts the document to the HTML format and then it displays the translated HTML file.

The nice thing is that Google converts the documents on the fly even if they haven't been indexed by Google. Just paste the address of a document in Google Translate's text area and wait until the translation shows up.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I just tried google translate, it said the file was to large , apparently it will only translate files 9 pages and under.

Finnish

Don't know a word.
I skimmed through it quickly.Looks like he installed a ScanGauge,established a baseline for the vehicle on a fixed route,then went after some electric loads,lower viscosity lubes,lower rolling resistance tires,then modest aero mods,so as not to loose any 'normal' utility.And published the difference compared to the baseline.Cool!
