# Zotero PDF Translate Guide
## Overview
Zotero PDF Translate is one of the most popular Zotero plugins with over 10,000 stars on GitHub, providing seamless translation capabilities directly within the Zotero PDF reader. It enables researchers to translate selected text, annotations, metadata, and even entire pages without leaving their reference management workflow.
The plugin supports a wide range of translation engines including Google Translate, DeepL, Microsoft Translator, OpenAI, and numerous other services. This flexibility allows researchers to choose the engine that best suits their language pair, domain, and accuracy requirements.
