# azure-ai-translation-document-py

Batch document translation that preserves layout — the part that breaks when you translate a PDF by extracting text and re-flowing it.

## Install

### Claude Code

```bash
npx skills add microsoft/skills --skill azure-ai-translation-document-py
```

## Best for

Translating a corpus of Word, PDF, Excel or PowerPoint files where the formatting has to survive the round trip.

## Not ideal for

A single short document, or anything that cannot leave your infrastructure — it is a cloud batch service with Azure credentials attached.

## About

Azure AI Document Translation SDK for batch translation of documents with format preservation. Use for translating Word, PDF, Excel, PowerPoint, and other document formats at scale. Triggers: "document translation", "batch translation", "translate documents", "DocumentTranslationClient".
