Translate DOCX documents to 300+ languages in Python

Automate DOCX document translation using Google Gemini AI models with Aspose.Words for Python via .NET. Translate DOCX files into over 300 languages while preserving the original layout, formatting, and document structure.

How to translate a DOCX file in Python

  • Load the DOCX file into a Document object
  • Set up a Google Gemini AI model with your API key
  • Call the Translate method with the target language
  • Save the translated document in the format you need

The AI engine detects the source language automatically — even in mixed-language documents. The following example shows how to translate a DOCX document in Python:

Example code in Python for translating a DOCX
Select the target format from the list
Run code
pip install aspose-words
Copy
doc = aw.Document("Document.docx")
api_key = os.getenv("API_KEY")

# Use Google generative language models.
model = aw.ai.AiModel.create(aw.ai.AiModelType.GEMINI_FLASH_LATEST).with_api_key(api_key)

translated_doc = model.translate(doc, aw.ai.Language.ARABIC)
translated_doc.save("Output.docx")
doc = aw.Document("Document.docx")
# Pass an empty string if the self-hosted model does not require an API key.
model = CustomAiModel("my-model-24b", "https://your-server.com/v1").with_api_key("")

translated_doc = model.translate(doc, aw.ai.Language.ARABIC)
translated_doc.save("Output.docx")

class CustomAiModel(aw.ai.OpenAiModel):
    def __init__(self, name, url):
        super().__init__(name)
        self._url = url
    @property
    def url(self):
        return self._url
Run code
