Translate PDFs without wrecking the layout
Most tools turn a formatted PDF into a stream of text. Upload a contract, tender or technical manual here and the tables, figures and columns come back where you left them — with a bilingual version for checking.
Ordinary translation
Extracts the PDF to plain text first — tables, figures and columns are gone; you get back a wall of paragraphs.
Live Translate
Translates in place: tables, figures and columns stay where they were. You get both a translated-only and a side-by-side version.
Layout stays put
Tables, figures, columns and footnotes keep their positions instead of collapsing into a wall of text.
Two outputs
A clean translation-only PDF to read, and a bilingual side-by-side PDF to check against the source.
One glossary everywhere
The same terminology list your meetings use, so a term never comes out two different ways.
Only pay for what worked
One credit per page, charged on success. A failed job costs nothing.
How it works
- 1Upload the PDF and pick the target language.
- 2Tick a glossary if the document is full of product or legal terms.
- 3Wait for the progress bar, then download the translation-only or bilingual PDF.
Questions about file translation
Does the layout survive translation?
Yes. Tables, images, columns, headers and footers stay where they were — the document is not flattened to plain text and re-flowed. Contracts, tenders and technical manuals can be uploaded as-is.
What do I get back?
Two PDFs: a translation-only version for reading, and a side-by-side bilingual version for checking against the original.
How is it billed?
One credit per page, from the same balance as live interpretation. You are only charged when the translation succeeds — failures cost nothing. Page count is shown before you start.
Can I keep terminology consistent?
Yes. File translation shares the same glossary as meetings, so a term is rendered the same way throughout the document.
Any size limits?
100 MB and 500 pages per file. Long documents take a while; progress is shown live and you can close the tab and come back.
What about scanned PDFs?
It depends on scan quality. Image-only PDFs go through layout detection first; clean scans work, blurry or handwritten ones are not recommended.
