How about you translate it using google translate? Were using it on our site more often communicating with chinese and arabian people Since you mention it on google doc. Copy the entire content of google doc and paste it as html text on your site. Then use google translate. Point the uploaded/pasted html text of the domain where you paste your google doc content then voila the transfer would be auto just make sure you got he grammar and spelling correctly so your translation would be accurate. Hope this helps
Google Translate and other translating tools work to an extent, but they are not perfect. If the site is a site that you earn money from, want to earn money from, or are trying to develop into an authority type site, it's worth every penny to hire a professional translator. A person whose native language or even a person who is fluent in the language the site is written in, will know right away whether the site content was run through Google Translate or similar software or whether it was written by an actual person fluent in the language. You work hard to get traffic to your site. Actual people. You don't want to lose those people by taking the cheap way out by using translation software instead of a skilled human translator.
Here is how I would write a sentence: "I walked across the street yesterday to see her". This is how running it through Google Translate would come out: "I strolled to the other side of the road the other day to see the female". Google is very structured, robotic and formal. Most people find the translations laughable and quaint.
