Translate Academic PDFs Preserving Dual-Column Layout & Math Formulas with PDFMathTranslate
Keep complex LaTeX equations, figures, tables and dual-column layouts intact while translating arXiv and IEEE PDF papers into side-by-side bilingual PDFs.
Converting PDFs to Word ruins LaTeX equations and floating figures. PDFMathTranslate operates directly on PDF layout streams while locking mathematical notation.
Step-by-Step Action Checklist
0 / 4 CompletedI am using open-source `pdf2zh` (PDFMathTranslate) with an LLM API to translate an academic PDF in [field: e.g., Computer Vision / Quantitative Finance]. Provide: 1) A custom system prompt that preserves domain terminology (showing "Translated Term (Original)" on first mention); 2) Rules to keep author names, reference lists and math variables untouched; 3) Recommended CLI flags for multi-threading and translation cache.
