What is the easiest way to translate a pdf doc from a foreign language to english.  I am using Adobe Acrobat DC

There is no easy way to do it in the PDF format, because it was not built for such tasks. If you only have access to the PDF then export it to another format (like Word), translate it there and then create a new PDF. If you can get the original file used to create the PDF then use it for the translation, and then create a new PDF when done.

There is none.  Adobe never makes thing easy.  They were unable to hire programmers capable of translating without crashing their software so they just tell everyone to go somewhere else.

Good luck.  You won't find help from Adobe.

Unfortunately it seems there's no way to do that. My students have expressed that when I use DeepL translator, the translation is more accurate than when I use Google. I switched to DeepL for that reason when doing manual translations. I usually will give students a printed sheet to translate any pdfs; then, they translate on Google with the picture translation feature.

If you supposed to get the partial translation you can use the tap translation feature in google translate.
