Translating EBSCOhost Resources

Some library resources offer features that allow you to translate content into another language.

For example, EBSCOhost screens and most articles are presented in English by default. However, you may translate the interface or a full-text article from English into one of the available language options.

The EBSCO interface can be translated into any of the following languages:*

Notes:

  • Articles available in HTML format have a translation feature, while PDFs do not.
  • If you print, e-mail, or save the full text, it will be delivered in the language of the database. However, you can print the translated text using your browser's Print function.
