## What it is
MathTranslate is a Python tool that translates LaTeX documents, especially scientific papers from arXiv, between any languages while keeping math expressions and LaTeX code intact. It is available as a command-line tool, a GUI, and a hosted web server, and outputs compilable LaTeX that can be turned into PDF.

## Use cases
- translate an arXiv paper from English to Chinese
- translate a LaTeX document while keeping equations unchanged
- translate a scientific paper PDF into another language
- batch translate math-heavy papers for reading
- compile a translated LaTeX paper into a PDF

## When to choose
- you need to read scientific papers in a different language
- you want math formulas and LaTeX syntax preserved during translation
- you have arXiv IDs or LaTeX source files to translate
- you want a choice of CLI, GUI, or web interface

## When to avoid
- you need to translate plain PDFs without LaTeX source (requires paid Mathpix OCR)
- you need general-purpose document or website translation
- your documents contain no LaTeX or math content

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: active
- function: nlp, pdf, cli, gui
- domain: pdf, developer-tools, education
- platform: python, cli, cross-platform
- tags: latex-translation, arxiv, scientific-papers, machine-translation, math-preservation, natural-language-processing, web-server
