When working on a design requiring multilingual content, you normally rely on translation apps or websites like Google Translate and ChatGPT to translate your text. However, Canva actually offers a more convenient alternative with its built-in translator tool. The Translate app supports over 100 languages, including widely spoken ones like Spanish, French, and Arabic, and regional languages like Bhojpuri and Cebuano. One of the great advantages of using this feature is that it keeps your text’s original font style, size, and other elements intact, so you won’t have to worry about messing up your design. Here’s how you can access and use this tool in Canva:
- Open the design you want to translate in Canva.
- On the left side panel, click on Apps.
- Under More from Canva, select Translate. Alternatively, type “translate” in the search bar and click on the first result.
- Select the language you want to translate to.
- (Optional) By default, Canva automatically detects the language used in your design. To change it, click on Edit next to “Automatically detect current language.” Then, select your current language.
- Select whether to translate the entire page or just specific text.
- If your design has multiple pages, choose which pages you want to apply the translation.
- Once ready, hit Translate.
You should see your translated content on your design after a few moments. There are, however, some limitations to using Translate. For free account users, there’s a cap of up to 50 pages. For those with a subscription, the limit is set at 500 pages per billing month.
