Are these translation GPTs really free?

Yes, the GPTs themselves are free. However, you need a ChatGPT Plus subscription ($20/month) to use custom GPTs on ChatGPT.

Why use specialized translators instead of regular Google Translate?

Regular translation tools break file structures. They translate JSON keys, corrupt timestamps in subtitles, and break code syntax. These specialized GPTs know which parts to translate (user-facing strings, content) and which to preserve (code, tags, timestamps, keys).

What file formats are supported?

18 formats including: PDF, DOCX, TXT, PPTX, LaTeX, Markdown, SRT, VTT, JSON, CSV, XLSX, XML, HTML, PHP, TypeScript/JavaScript, PO, RESX, and scanned documents/images.

Free Translation GPTs for Every File Format

By Linnk Team | January 2026 | 18 Free Tools

What's This?

We've built 18 specialized ChatGPT translators - one for each common file format. They're completely free to use and designed to preserve your file's structure while translating content.

Structure-Safe: Your formatting, tags, and code stay intact
Free: No signup, no credits, just use ChatGPT
Specialized: Each GPT understands its file format deeply

Why Specialized Translators?

Regular translation tools break file structures. Translate a JSON file with Google Translate and your keys become gibberish. Translate an SRT subtitle file and your timestamps disappear. Translate code and your syntax breaks.

Each of these GPTs is trained to understand its specific file format. They know which parts to translate (user-facing strings, content) and which parts to leave alone (code, tags, timestamps, keys).
