1. What is ODF?

The OpenDocument Format (ODF) is an open file format standard aimed at providing cross-platform compatibility and long-term usability for office documents. Developed by OASIS (Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards), ODF is widely supported by various office software suites, including Microsoft Office, LibreOffice, Apache OpenOffice, and Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides.

3. Translating ODF Documents

Choosing the Right Translation Tool

In our work, we use O.Translator to translate ODF documents that need processing, including ODT, ODS, and ODP formats, but it currently does not support ODG, ODF, and ODB formats.

O.Translator is an online website that uses large AI models to achieve document translation, supporting the translation of more than 20 document formats, covering common office documents, images, and software domain documents, among others.

Especially for ODF files, O.Translator can efficiently handle the translation needs of ODT, ODS, and ODP formats.
