Google released Google Docs app for Android, allows for the creation, editing, and collaborating, provides a native environment for the service, as well as some convenient new features. Google Docs app is more of a document manager than a solid word processor.

Google Docs app allow users to do what they most likely wants to do, which is search through documents, share them with contacts, and upload and convert the files into the Google documents format. Changes that are made will be done in real-time, and an Internet connection is required to edit new documents. Google Docs App is not really intended for creation, but consumption.

As we know, Google offers three ways to translate Office documents, they are Google Translate,Google Translator Toolkit, Google Docs. But they have some own shortcomings we may meet before. When you upload documents to Google Translate, the output of translated document have been turned into HTML format, out of the whole original document format. But using Google Translator Toolkit, the interface is a bit confused and has lots of bug. Google Docs also provides translation functionality itself, but it will also be translated and converted to HTML format by destroying original documents.

Today we introduce a new DocTranslator online service, you can upload a Office documents (Word, Excel, PowerPoint can be), which the size is less than 500KB, then it will help you use Google Translate API to translate. Best of all, it preserves the layout of your original document, which will not change the format, fonts, tables, spacing, etc. And it supports translations to and from more than 50 languages. Just have a try.
