Abstract
PDFMathTranslate enables layout-preserving scientific document translation using large language models and precise layout detection, offering improved precision, flexibility, and efficiency.
Language barriers inscientific documentshinder 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 firstopen-source softwarefor translatingscientific documentswhile preserving layouts. Leveraging the most recent advances inlarge language modelsand preciselayout 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.
