Frequently asked questions

How many languages are supported?
The translator offers 77 source and target languages, including English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Hindi, and more.
Does the translated PDF keep the original layout?
No. The downloaded PDF uses a new text layout with a translation heading, source filename, and paginated translated text.
How is the translation quality?
AI output can be inaccurate or incomplete. Review results against the source document before relying on them, especially for legal, medical, financial, or other high-stakes use.
Can it translate technical or legal documents?
It can attempt specialised text, but terminology and meaning require careful review. Do not treat the output as a certified translation or rely on it without qualified review for high-stakes use.
Is my document sent to a server for translation?
Extracted text is sent through the AI route to the configured model provider. The selected PDF bytes are not sent by this translation tool.
Do I need to create an account to translate a PDF?
