Windows 10: Easy Way to Translate a Scanned Document into English?

I have a document that's in another language that I wanted to translate into English so I could read it. I scanned it to a folder on my computer. I don't want to download anything onto my computer to do this, and I don't want to pay anything to do it.

I went to Google translator and tried to upload it from my computer, but it came up blank. I tried to copy a paragraph of it and translate it that way on a website, but I don't know how to copy it and paste it from my file.

I have a Windows 10 computer and was wondering if there's something already on my system that might translate the page for me, without trying to go to online websites.

Thanks for any advice or suggestions, I don't know very much about computers, only the basics.

scanned documents

Hello,

By default, scans are saved in a Scans folder inside the Pictures. Here are the steps on how to get there:

• Press Windows and type pictures
• Click Pictures and double-click the Scans folder.
