Breaking Language Barriers in US Stock Earnings Analysis

Background

For users whose native language is not English, analyzing US stock financial reports is a challenging task because these reports contain many technical terms, requiring a certain level of English proficiency to understand.

Although Chat2Report currently supports multilingual chat, some users have reported difficulty understanding when viewing cited sources or locating specific financial report sections. They hope for the addition of a multilingual financial report translation feature, which is a critical and essential need for them.

To verify the demand's scope, we subsequently conducted a user survey. Indeed, many users expressed the need for this feature, so we began considering how to add a financial report translation function.

Solution Options

Quickly researched many existing solutions on the market. Some display translations directly on the original PDF financial report, with one line of the original text and one line of the translation, similar to immersive translation. Others translate the PDF and output it in Markdown format (a plain text format that is easy to edit).

After comparison, it was decided to adopt a method of generating a new PDF based on the translation of the original PDF. The new PDF retains the format of the original financial report, making it easy to save and highly readable.

Translation Engine

Google and Bing are directly abandoned here. Traditional translation engines struggle with professional documents like financial reports, and the machine translation is quite severe.

Large language models inherently support multiple languages, and their translation quality is significantly better than traditional translation engines. After comparing several models, it was decided to use GPT and Gemini, dynamically selecting between the two models during actual translation.

Translation Effectiveness

The actual translation quality is quite good. You can choose to translate into any language or customize the number of pages to translate, with the default being the entire document. However, to save your credits, it is recommended to selectively translate certain pages.

For easier reading of financial reports, you can enable the bilingual view mode, which highlights the original quoted paragraphs while allowing you to compare the translated financial report side by side.

Future Plans

Due to the complexity of technical implementation and financial report formats, there may be rare cases where some content is not translated, but this does not affect the overall reading experience.

In the future, we will continue to optimize translation quality and support more languages.
