Abstract
The digital age has enabled unprecedented opportunities in the dissemination of information. Thanks to the Internet, research results are available to virtually anyone in the world. Thanks to platforms such as the Open Journal System, a scientific journal can be published by practically anyone with minimal demands on resources, and even a relatively small editorial team can focus more on the quality of published articles than on the editorial process itself. Nevertheless, publishing procedures have recently been adopted which do not allow parts of readers to have seamless access to the content of scientific articles.
Highlights
What‘s the problem? Machine translation cannot handle PDF text placed on a web page, as it works on the principle of overwriting the content of a page, and PDF does not allow it
Google Translate can handle almost every article information given in HTML, except for the PDF article
Open Journal System (OJS) makes it possible to create an HTML version of the article, but this requires some extra work from editors, which is probably why many scientific journals provide full text articles in PDF format alone
Summary
Machine translation cannot handle PDF text placed on a web page, as it works on the principle of overwriting the content of a page, and PDF does not allow it. Google Translate can handle almost every article information given in HTML, except for the PDF article.
