Qwen-MT-Uni launches with translated files in their original document formats

Qwen launched Qwen-MT-Uni on September 16, combining text, document, image and audio translation in one API. Its documentation specifies matching PDF, DOCX, PPTX and XLSX input/output formats, plus glossary support and synchronous or asynchronous processing.

In practice

A trade operations worker could send an English product-manual PDF and brand glossary through an API-integrated tool to receive a Chinese PDF, then review model numbers, dimensions, tables and pagination.

Facts: access and cost

This is a Model Studio API requiring a key. Its model card lists no Playground, so it is not a universal upload-and-translate webpage. Beijing document input currently costs CNY 20 per million input tokens; synchronous and asynchronous pricing is identical. Download returned files promptly.

Editorial assessment: reducing reformatting work

For people translating manuals or presentations, layout reconstruction is the useful test, beyond sentence quality. Check captions, table-column alignment and consistent terminology on the same sample. If complex pages still need rebuilding, the existing process may remain faster.

Limits and verification

Official limits are 100 MB per file and 200 document pages. Legacy .doc and .ppt files require conversion. Supported translation directions are explicitly listed, not unrestricted. We have not tested translation, complex tables or layout fidelity; matching output formats do not guarantee identical pages.

Claude adds Docs and Slides for editing documents and exporting presentations

Docs and Slides are in beta on paid plans for creating, editing and sharing files in a conversation. The chat–Cowork merger is rolling out first to Pro and Max.

In practice

An event organizer could provide the plan, attendance figures and participant feedback, then ask for a one-page report and a five-slide presentation.

What you get

The official description includes direct editing, collaboration and PowerPoint or PDF export. For someone already preparing both files, useful checks are whether the draft is usable and the figures agree.

Availability and limits

Access is not universal, and enterprise administrators control enablement. We have not produced this example or tested layout, factual accuracy or export quality. Attendance figures, conclusions and image rights still need review.
