Google Translate

Files exceeding 10MB or 300 pages cannot be translated.
The following file formats are supported:

PDFsam Basic
Download PDFsam Basic from the following URL: https://pdfsam.org/download-pdfsam-basic/ I downloaded the “Portable archive” version.
It appears to configure Java settings upon launch. Run it using the “pdfsam.bat” file.
Use this option if the file size exceeds 10MB. It’s recommended to set “Split by file size” to 5.6MB. This is because splitting at 10MB sometimes caused timeout errors with Google Translate.
Use this option if the page count exceeds 300 pages. Set “Split after every ’n’ pages” to 300. If you encounter timeouts, reduce this value to 200 or 100.
Drag and drop the split PDF files as shown in the image.
Click “Run” to merge the files. The merged file will have a default name, so renaming is necessary.
PDFsam Visual
This is not recommended as it only offers a 14-day trial. However, it’s mentioned here due to its effective compression of text-based PDFs.
Download PDFsam Visual from the following URL: https://pdfsam.org/download-pdfsam-visual/ I downloaded the “Portable archive 64-bit” version.
Select “Compress” on the start screen.
Drag and drop your PDF file here.
Configure the settings: choose the output folder with “BROWSE” and click “SAVE” to compress.
iLovePDF
