About PDF translator

Language barriers should not prevent you from working with important documents. DocumentFlipper's PDF translator extracts text from your document, translates it using a neural machine translation engine, and reassembles the result as a new PDF, preserving the original layout as closely as possible.

Translation is available for dozens of language pairs, including all major European, Asian, and Middle Eastern languages. The translation engine handles idiomatic expressions and domain-specific terminology better than word-for-word translation, producing readable, natural-sounding output.

As with all machine translation, complex or highly specialised texts may benefit from human review after automated translation. Your PDF is processed securely and deleted within two hours.

Frequently asked questions

Which languages are supported?
DocumentFlipper supports translation to and from dozens of languages including Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, and many more.
Will the PDF layout be preserved after translation?
We preserve the layout as much as possible. Translated text in some languages may be longer or shorter than the original, which can affect line wrapping and spacing.
How accurate is the translation?
Our neural translation engine produces high-quality results for most general content. Highly specialised or technical texts may require expert review.
Can I translate a scanned PDF?
Scanned PDFs need a text layer first. Use OCR PDF to add selectable text, then translate the resulting PDF.
How long are my files stored?
Your uploaded PDF and the translated output are automatically deleted from our servers within two hours.
