Frequently asked questions

Is the page layout really preserved?

Yes. Every text block is redrawn inside its own box; the page count, tables, heading hierarchy and images stay where they were. Where a translation runs longer than the source the type size is reduced in a controlled way, never below 70% of the original.

Can a scanned PDF be translated?

Not directly — after text recognition. Uploading a fully scanned PDF starts no translation; paid text recognition (OCR) is offered instead. Recognition requires signing in and uses 1 extra credit per recognised page. You review the recognised text page by page, approve it, and then start the translation. For scanned pages inside a text document, the same offer appears page by page once the translation has finished.

What happens if one page cannot be translated?

That page is kept in the document in its ORIGINAL form and you are told which page failed and why; no blank page is produced. You can retry just those pages, and credits are charged only for them.

Which languages can I translate into?

Eight target languages are offered and the source language is detected automatically. The document's own language is not offered as a target, and the interface language is independent of the translation target.
