Frequently asked questions
Which languages can I translate into?
All 11 site languages: English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, German, Spanish, French, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese and Russian. Pick the target in the dropdown — the translation is delivered in that language regardless of the page language.
Will numbers, names and formatting survive?
Yes — the translator is instructed to keep every number, unit, proper name and date, and to preserve paragraph breaks and list markers. Translated paragraphs map onto paragraphs in the Word document.
How long can the document be?
PDFs up to 25MB upload fine; the translation reads the first 60,000 characters of text (roughly a 40-60 page document) and tells you if the input was longer. Long documents translate in chunks of 3,000 characters, each with the previous section’s end as style context, so terminology stays consistent.
Is my document stored anywhere?
The PDF is sent to a private VPS that extracts the text; the extracted text is translated by the AI and the result is built into a .docx. Nothing is stored — you download the result and it is yours. Any failure refunds the credits.
What do I get exactly?
The translated text shown on the page (copyable), plus a .docx download — the same translation laid out as a Word document you can edit, print or share. One translation costs 5 credits, adjustable by the site owner.
Engine choices and honest limits
- LLM translation — context-aware handling of idiom beats phrase-by-phrase engines; register prompts adapt between formal business and casual internal tone.
- Glossary discipline — product names, code identifiers and emails are marked untouchable before translation.
- PDF caveat — PDFs convert to Word first, translate, then return; complex multi-column layouts may need minor touch-ups.
- Length drift — German/French expansion (~+20%) reflows within the same template instead of truncating.
How it works
- 1
Upload your PDF (up to 25MB) and pick the target language from the dropdown.
- 2
AI translates the text chunk by chunk, keeping terms consistent across the document.
- 3
Read the translation on screen, copy it, or download the ready-made .docx built on a private VPS.
- 4
Download the translated file; compare side-by-side against the original if terminology matters.
Translation that preserves your layout
Document text translates sentence-by-sentence and flows back into the original formatting — headings stay headings, tables stay tables.
Full-document translation
The whole document is extracted and translated — every page, including the ones past the first screen.
Context-aware chunks
Pages are translated in order with the previous context carried along, so terminology stays consistent from page one to the end.
Editable .docx output
The translated document is rebuilt as a Word file you can edit, copy from or share — not just a text dump.

What Is the Document Translator?
Document Translator solves the everyday problem of PDFs written in a language you cannot read comfortably. Copying text out of such a file into a translation box loses the paragraph structure, scrambles lists, and leaves you to reassemble a broken document by hand. This tool treats the PDF as the source and handles the full journey: the file is uploaded to a private server that extracts its text layer, an AI model translates the content in stages, and the result is rebuilt into a Word-compatible file you can open, edit, print, or share. The translation keeps numbers, units, names, and dates in place, and holds onto the paragraph breaks and list markers of the original, so the output reads like a real document in the target language rather than a chain of disconnected fragments.
What this tool can do
- 🌐 Translate into any of the site's eleven languages — English, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, German, Spanish, French, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese and Russian — from a single dropdown
- 🖥️ Server-side extraction reads the PDF's real text layer on a private VPS, so no copy-paste into another app
- 🤖 DeepSeek, the AI translator, works through the document in sequence, carrying the wording of each finished section forward so terminology stays consistent
- 📝 A finished .docx is rebuilt on the server from the translation — download it ready for Word, Google Docs, or LibreOffice
- 📋 The translated text appears right on the page, copyable with one click, no download needed
- 🔁 PDFs up to 25MB are accepted; the first 60,000 characters are translated — longer files are cut off with a clear notice — and a failed job refunds its credits
When you'll use it
- 📚 Read a research paper or study published only in a language you do not speak
- 📑 Check a contract or legal notice from a foreign partner before signing
- 🔧 Follow a product manual or instruction sheet written in another language
- 🎓 Study course material or exam papers prepared abroad
- 💼 Share a translated copy of your own document with an international client or team
Your PDF is sent to a private document server, processed there, and not stored — the extracted text, the translation, and the rebuilt file are used only to produce your result, then discarded. Two honest limits: a document made of scanned images has no text layer to read, so the job stops cleanly and your credits are returned — the OCR tools are the right place for such files; and the Word rebuild keeps paragraphs and lists but may simplify complex layouts such as multi-column designs, elaborate tables, or heavy graphics. Translation needs a signed-in account and draws from your credit balance, at a price set by the site owner and shown on the page before you start.
