# AI Markdown Article Translator Translate full Markdown articles with AI while preserving headings, tables, links, images, and code blocks for direct publication > Canonical page: https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/ai-markdown-article-translator - **Category:** Text Processing - **Keywords:** markdown, translator, ai translation, technical docs, localization, glossary ## Overview Paste a Markdown article or upload a .md file, choose the target language, and optionally add a glossary to keep brand names and technical terms stable. The tool protects code fences, inline code, URLs, and optional anchor slugs before translation, then restores them into the final publish-ready Markdown. How to use it: - Markdown Input / Markdown File: provide the article source - Source Language: use auto-detect or force a source language if the article mixes scripts - Target Language: pick the output language for publication - Glossary: add one term per line in forms like React => React or edge function => Edge Function - Preserve Anchor Slugs: keep in-page anchor links such as (#api-reference) unchanged What it preserves: - fenced code blocks and inline code - Markdown headings, lists, tables, emphasis, and blockquotes - image and link URLs - optional anchor-style slugs for internal table-of-contents links ## Inputs - **Markdown Input** (textarea): # Product Guide Welcome to the platform. ```ts console.log("hello") ``` - **Markdown File** (file) - **Source Language** (select) - **Target Language** (select) - **Glossary** (textarea): Edge Function => Edge Function 知识库 => Knowledge Base - **Preserve Anchor Slugs** (checkbox) ## When to use - When localizing technical documentation or API references that contain extensive code blocks and tables. - When translating blog posts or tutorials where brand names and technical terms must remain consistent using a glossary. - When migrating Markdown files to a new language version of a website while keeping internal anchor links intact. ## How it works - Paste your Markdown text or upload a .md file directly into the tool. - Select your target language and optionally define a glossary to lock specific terms (e.g., 'Edge Function => Edge Function'). - Enable 'Preserve Anchor Slugs' if you want to keep internal table-of-contents links unchanged. - The AI translates the prose while strictly protecting fenced code, inline code, URLs, and Markdown syntax, outputting a publish-ready file. ## Use cases - Translating open-source project README files into multiple languages to reach a broader developer community. - Localizing software release notes while maintaining the exact formatting of commands and status tables. - Converting technical blog posts into a target language without manually extracting and re-inserting code snippets. ## Frequently asked questions ### Does this tool translate the code inside code blocks? No, fenced code blocks and inline code are strictly preserved and will not be translated. ### How do I use the glossary feature? Enter one translation rule per line in the format 'Source Term => Target Term' to ensure consistent terminology. ### Can I upload a Markdown file instead of pasting text? Yes, you can upload a .md or .markdown file up to 5MB in size. ### What does 'Preserve Anchor Slugs' do? It prevents the AI from translating internal anchor links, such as `(#api-reference)`, ensuring your table of contents still works. ### Will my tables and images break during translation? No, the tool is designed to protect Markdown structures, including tables, image URLs, and link formatting. ## Related tools - [AI Image to Markdown](https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/ai-image-to-markdown): Extract text from images and convert to markdown format using AI vision models - [Data URI Generator](https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/data-uri-generator): Convert files into Data URIs (Base64 or percent-encoded) for inlining images, fonts, and assets directly into HTML, CSS, or Markdown - [AI Face Compare (1:1)](https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/ai-face-compare): Compare two images, output embedding distance and match boolean by threshold, only compare the first face in each image - [QR Code Decoder](https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/qr-code-decoder): Decode QR codes from images and extract the contained text or URLs - [Markdown to Plain Text](https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/markdown-to-plain-text): Convert Markdown formatted text to plain text by removing all Markdown syntax and formatting - [Markdown to PDF Converter - Markdown转PDF转换器](https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/markdown-to-pdf-converter): Convert Markdown files to PDF documents with proper formatting, syntax highlighting, and styling - [Barcode Batch Generator](https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/barcode-batch-generator): Batch generate Code 128, EAN-13, UPC-A, ITF-14, QR Code, and Data Matrix outputs from CSV or multiline text - [Image Box Blur](https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/image-box-blur): Apply box blur kernel for simple uniform averaging and fast noise reduction ## Samples - [Markdown Samples](https://elysiatools.com/en/samples/markdown-samples): Markdown format examples from simple to complex document structures - [Markdown Viewer Samples](https://elysiatools.com/en/samples/markdown-viewer-samples): Sample Markdown files for README preview, documentation rendering, and rich-text markup tests - [Markdown Slide Deck Samples](https://elysiatools.com/en/samples/md-slide-deck-to-pdf): Remark/Marp style Markdown slide decks for testing PDF export layouts - [PDF Samples](https://elysiatools.com/en/samples/pdf-samples): Generated PDF samples from tools dated 2026-02-01 to 2026-02-10 ## Related content - [Markdown Writing and Publishing Tools](https://elysiatools.com/en/hubs/markdown-utility): Compare Markdown formatting, link review, merging, preview, translation, and export tools in one hub for docs, notes, and publishing workflows. - [Image Format Conversion and Animated Export Tools](https://elysiatools.com/en/hubs/image-convert): Compare image format converters for JPG, PNG, GIF, AVIF, WebP, TIFF, ICO, base64, and animation-friendly exports in one hub. - [Text Case, Encoding, and Normalization Conversion Tools](https://elysiatools.com/en/hubs/text-convert): Compare text case conversion, character-width conversion, encoding conversion, quoted-printable handling, and inline text normalization tools in one hub. - [Image Cleanup, Framing, and Batch Prep Tools](https://elysiatools.com/en/hubs/image-utility): Compare image cleanup, trimming, padding, framing, batch resize/compress, watermarking, and visual polish tools in one hub for asset preparation workflows.
