Here is a simple way to translate file names using Bulk Rename Utility and an AI chatbot (such as ChatGPT).
Step 1: Copy File Names from Bulk Rename Utility
- Open Bulk Rename Utility and navigate to the folder containing the files you want to translate.
- Select all the files whose names you want to translate.
- Right-click the selection and choose: Copy to Clipboard ? File Name + Ext
This will copy the file names to translate into the clipboard for example:
- Code: Select all
The cat jumped over the wall.txt
I left my keys on the table.txt
Please send the report by friday.txt
She likes to walk in the rain.txt
This document needs more review.txt
We should meet after lunch.txt
Do not forget the deadline.txt
Everything was gone by morning.txt
The door was left open again.txt
Step 2: Ask the AI Chatbot to Translate
Now go to the AI chatbot and ask for a translation. For example:
- Code: Select all
Translate the following file names in Italian and append their translation to the file name separated by a tab. Example: English file name<tab>Italian file name:
The cat jumped over the wall.txt
I left my keys on the table.txt
Please send the report by friday.txt
She likes to walk in the rain.txt
This document needs more review.txt
We should meet after lunch.txt
Do not forget the deadline.txt
Everything was gone by morning.txt
The door was left open again.txt
The AI will return something like:
- Code: Select all
Below are the file names with their Italian translations appended (separated by a tab):
The cat jumped over the wall.txt Il gatto ha saltato sopra il muro.txt
I left my keys on the table.txt Ho lasciato le mie chiavi sul tavolo.txt
Please send the report by friday.txt Per favore invia il rapporto entro venerdì.txt
She likes to walk in the rain.txt Le piace camminare sotto la pioggia.txt
This document needs more review.txt Questo documento necessita di ulteriori revisioni.txt
We should meet after lunch.txt Dovremmo incontrarci dopo pranzo.txt
Do not forget the deadline.txt Non dimenticare la scadenza.txt
Everything was gone by morning.txt Tutto era scomparso al mattino.txt
The door was left open again.txt La porta è stata lasciata aperta di nuovo.txt
Step 3: Import Translations into Bulk Rename Utility
- Copy the translated list (both columns) to the clipboard using Ctrl + C.
- In Bulk Rename Utility, go to the Actions menu and select: Import Rename Pairs from Clipboard or use the shortcut Ctrl + Alt + C.
- Once the list is imported, select the files again.
- You will now see the translations in the New Name column.
- Click Rename to apply the changes!
Done — your file names are now translated!
