Don't upload confidential documents on the free tier. Why?

Teams that work across countries, or that hire people who are still learning the local language, need their handbook, onboarding guides and policies in more than one language. DropTranslate translates these documents from Word, PDF or PowerPoint while keeping your headings, numbered policies and branding, so the translated version looks like the original. It is a fast way to give people a version they can read comfortably, and to give HR a draft for the documents that need formal review.

Employment documents can have legal weight

Employment law in some countries has rules about the language of contracts and workplace policies. A machine translation is a draft for readability, not a legally reviewed or certified translation. Have HR or an employment lawyer review documents that affect contracts, pay or safety.

Good for

  • Translating onboarding guides and welcome packs
  • Making policies readable for team members in their first language
  • Translating training slides and internal announcements

Before you translate

  • Policies that are part of employment contracts may have legal weight. Have HR or legal review those translations.
  • Keep internal names of teams, tools and benefits consistent across languages.
  • State which language version applies if the versions differ.

Internal policies may be confidential. On the free tier the text may be used to train the AI provider's models, so don't upload confidential company documents.

Questions

Will our branding and layout stay?

In Word and PowerPoint files, yes: only the words change. PDFs are rebuilt as closely as possible, with an editable DOCX copy.

Can I translate a long handbook?

Up to 300 pages or 100,000 words per file. The credit cost is shown before you confirm.

Can I translate into several languages?

Yes. Run the file once per target language; signed-in users can upload up to 10 files at a time.
