Sends selected PDFs to the PutongDoc online service for translation and imports bilingual or translation-only PDFs as attachments.
PutongDoc has Atlas grade B (use with care) because it uses the network; we couldn't tell where, and 2 more findings. It works with Zotero 7–10. Last checked 6 Nov 2026.
Downloads a .xpi file (0.06 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.
23
DownloadsAll-time downloads of its release files from GitHub, counting every update. Installs from elsewhere aren't counted.
