Translate your resume or CV
Drop your CV as a Word file or PDF and get it back in another language, with the same layout, ready to polish.
Don't upload confidential documents on the free tier. Why?
Applying for a job abroad usually means your CV has to exist in a second language, and retyping a carefully designed two-page document is slow. Drop the Word version of your CV and DropTranslate translates the text inside it while your columns, fonts and spacing stay where they are. That gives you a solid first draft in minutes. What it can't do is decide how your experience should be presented in another job market: job titles, the order of sections and what personal details to include all vary by country, so treat the translation as the start of a localised CV, not the end.
Your CV is fine; your diplomas may be different
A translated CV is your own document, so you can translate and edit it however you like. Diplomas, transcripts and professional licences are different: if an employer or a recognition body asks for them in another language, they may require a certified translation from a qualified translator. Check their instructions before sending.
Certified, sworn or machine translation: which one do you need?
Good for
- Getting a first draft of your CV in another language without rebuilding the layout
- Translating a cover letter or a portfolio description in the same style
- Reading CVs you receive from candidates who wrote in another language
Before you translate
- Job titles: translate them to the title people actually use in that country and industry, not word for word.
- Dates, phone numbers and addresses: write them the way local employers expect.
- Length, photo and personal details: conventions vary by country, so check what is usual where you're applying.
- Ask someone who works in that language to read it once before you send it.
Your CV contains personal details. On the free tier the text may be used to train the AI provider's models, so consider removing your phone number, address and date of birth before uploading and adding them back afterwards.
Questions
Will my CV design stay the same?
If you upload the Word file, yes: only the words change. From a PDF you get a best-effort PDF plus an editable DOCX. Translations can run longer, so check that everything still fits on the same number of pages.
Should I translate my job titles literally?
Usually not. Use the title that employers in that country recognise for the same role. The translation gives you a starting point; adjust titles and section names by hand.
How much does it cost?
A typical one- or two-page CV is one or two credits, and your first 100 pages are free without an account.
