Your PDF is read and deleted straight away — never stored (it is sent again only when you create the translated file, and deleted again).

How it works
- Upload your PDF - its paragraphs are read page by page (scanned pages too, with OCR). The document's language is detected for you - you only choose the language to translate into. Free.
- Choose the language to translate into (from any of the languages above - the original's language is found automatically) and add any terms you need translated a fixed way.
- Translate: every paragraph is translated in formal, official-document language, then checked: every number, date, amount, email, ID and link must come through unchanged.
- Review side by side and edit anything. Highlighted paragraphs are the ones worth a second look.
- Download the translated PDF - your own file with only the words replaced: same pages, tables, headers and footers, logos and pictures, in the same places (proper letter shaping for Indian scripts, Arabic, Urdu and Thai; right-to-left where needed) - or an editable Word file.
