Translates PDFs, scans and images using a model provider you configure, with local Python parsing and OCR.
zhanhTRAN has Atlas grade B (use with care) because it uses the network; we couldn't tell where, and 1 more finding. It works with Zotero 9–10. Last checked 6 Nov 2026.
Downloads a .xpi file (0.1 MB). In Zotero, open Tools → Plugins and install it from the file.
In useAn estimate of how many copies of Zotero have it: Zotero downloads each new version once for every copy that has the plugin, so we count the downloads of its most-downloaded recent release. Rounded. Plugins that update from outside GitHub count low.
10
DownloadsAll-time downloads of its release files from GitHub, counting every update. Installs from elsewhere aren't counted.
18

Translates PDFs, scans and images using a model provider you configure, with local Python parsing and OCR. Output keeps the source layout, as a translated file or a side-by-side bilingual one. Needs Python 3.10 or newer and your own provider and API key.
Most translators lose a document's layout. This puts the translation back into the original areas of the page. Extracted text goes to your provider.
