The free version includes 50,000 characters per user per month and one file translation per user per month, for files up to 5 MB.

Google Translate provides translation for text, speech, images, conversations, documents, and websites, with API access.

The Google Play listing says typed text translation covers 108 languages. On the web, DOCX, PDF, PPTX, and XLSX document translation supports files up to 10 MB, with PDFs limited to 300 pages.
