PDFMathTranslate: Scientific Document Translation Preserving Layouts

Papers with Code Trending Papers

Summary

This paper introduces PDFMathTranslate, an open-source tool for translating scientific documents while preserving their original layout, leveraging large language models and precise layout detection.

Language barriers in scientific documents hinder the diffusion and development of science and technologies. However, prior efforts in translating such documents largely overlooked the information in layouts. To bridge the gap, we introduce PDFMathTranslate, the world's first open-source software for translating scientific documents while preserving layouts. Leveraging the most recent advances in large language models and precise layout detection, we contribute to the community with key improvements in precision, flexibility, and efficiency. The work has been open-sourced at https://github.com/byaidu/pdfmathtranslate with more than 222k downloads.
