Instead of going to another site to translate and edit the documents, now we can do it at one place in Google Docs. First type the document and then translate it easily with a click of a button.

"Today we're releasing a feature for Google Docs to make this kind of multi-lingual sharing easier — you can now automatically translate documents into 42 different languages. " - Official Google Blog: Translate documents: sharing across languages and generations

To do this, go to "Tools" --> Click "Translate document" and choose the language you want the document translated to.


Once you translate the document, Google Docs allow you to either replace the original document with the translated version or copy it into a new document.

All the formatting and the layout is preserved. Google says it may not be the best translated version but promises that they will keep on improving it.
