Portuguese to English academic translation, beside the original.
Upload a paper written in Portuguese, from Brazil or Portugal. Read the English beside it, paragraph by paragraph, and export the Word file when the English says what you meant.
Read closely
Where Portuguese to English needs a careful read.
These are the places a fluent translation can still miss the meaning. Tolayda puts each Portuguese paragraph beside its English, so they are checked where they happen, and a click on the English corrects it.
Words that look alike
Atualmente means currently. Pretender is to intend. Eventualmente is closer to occasionally or possibly. Realizar is to carry out. Each reads smoothly in English and says something else.
Passives with se
Analisaram-se as amostras and foram analisadas as amostras both put the action first. English moves the samples to the front: the samples were analysed.
Two standards
Brazilian and European Portuguese spell and name some things differently: registro and registo, equipe and equipa. Check that one idea comes out as one English term throughout.
Numbers
Portuguese writes a decimal comma, 3,75 where English writes 3.75, and groups thousands with a point. Check every figure, in the text and in the tables.
Questions.
Can I translate a Portuguese thesis or dissertation into English?
Yes, as a Word file (.docx), a PDF, or a LaTeX file (.tex). It works with a free student account (.ac.uk email) or your university's Tolayda licence. A licensed institution sets a limit on the size of a paper.
Will my headings and tables survive?
Translation works block by block. Headings, paragraphs, figure captions, and table cells keep their place in the English, and the Word file keeps its own name.
Can my supervisor read the English?
Yes. Share a read-only link with a lecturer. While that link is open the paper is locked, so what they read is what you left in place.
Does Tolayda certify the translation?
No. Tolayda assists the work. Scholarly review, copy-editing, and any official certification stay with the people responsible for them.
