Frequently asked questions

Which languages can I translate into?

Any language — you type the target rather than picking from a fixed list, so Spanish, Hindi, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Portuguese, Arabic, Russian, Thai and less commonly supported languages all work. The translated text itself is always complete; the PDF embeds a font for each script, and on the rare character we have no font for, the result tells you exactly how many were affected and the plain-text download still has them.

How does it handle right-to-left languages like Arabic and Hebrew?

The text is translated in full and laid out right-to-left in the PDF, but Arabic letters are not contextually joined, so the PDF reads correctly while looking typographically rough. For a polished Arabic or Hebrew document, use the plain-text download — every reader and word processor shapes it properly.

Does the translated PDF keep my original layout?

No, and it's worth being clear about this. You get a newly generated PDF containing the translated text with paragraph breaks, headings, and list items preserved — not a pixel-perfect rebuild of the original design with its images and columns in place. The structure survives; the visual layout doesn't.

How is this different from machine translation?

It's instructed to produce natural, fluent prose a native speaker would actually write — translating idioms idiomatically and conveying tone — rather than substituting words one at a time. It's also told not to summarize, omit, or add commentary, so you get the whole document rather than a condensed version.

Will it shorten or skip parts of my document?

No. All body text is translated, with nothing summarized or censored, and long documents are translated in sections rather than cut off at the first few pages. There is still a ceiling on a single run — if your document is past it, the result says so explicitly and tells you what percentage was covered, rather than handing back a complete-looking PDF that quietly stops early.

Can I also get the plain text?

Yes — the translation is shown inline as well as delivered as a PDF, so you can copy it straight out or save it as text if you'd rather paste it somewhere else.
