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.
