Thanks to everyone who helped me with the ideas to convert it. I ended up using translate.google.com where it allowed to convert even a pdf. I had to split the file in 4 because otherwise it left lots of untraslated pages. I splitted it each 13 pages. Then I copied and pasted the translation in word processor.
I also had to extract the images and add them. The option of the pdf viewer that sends a link didn't work. I think it was due to the limit of 10MB file (although mine had 9MB).
