Is there a way to translate german pdf scientific papers to english ?

[Matthew Baines]

I have found a load of fantastic looking scientific tarantula PDF papers but i seem to stumble at the fact that i do not speak German. I want to know if there is a plug in or a trick etc to translate them into English with adobe reader . My thirst for knowledge is being hindered by a language barrier hope someone can help

Hmmm, I don't think so.
Your best but time consuming bet would be to type the German into an internet translator like this one http://www.freetranslation.com/

Hope that helps

Nope, no easy way I'm afraid. You can sometimes cut and paste into a translator if the pemissions on the PDF file allow it, but it's touch and go whether you'll be able to glean much information from the resulting translated output!

Try this site for translation http://dict.leo.org/

My boyfriend is half German and speaks it (almost) fluently, he uses that site if he needs to check anything.

Alternatively, send them to me! I'm trying to learn German
Although so far the most advanced thing I can say is
"Ich heiße Gayle und ich bin eine Blume"
"I'm called Gayle and I am a flower" haha
