Multilingual Document Translation

Translate papers, reports, and spreadsheets in context, with terminology unified across the document and layout preserved.

General translation tools share one weakness on academic and technical documents: terminology drifts. A concept rendered one way on page two becomes something else on page ten, and the reader assumes two different things are being discussed. The cause is sentence-by-sentence translation with no memory of the whole document.

Translation here operates on the document as a unit. It reads through first to build a glossary, applies one rendering consistently throughout, and preserves section structure, numbering, tables, and equation placement. Where a term has no settled equivalent, the original is kept with a note rather than a coined substitute.

What it can do

One glossary, whole document

A terminology mapping is established before translation and applied throughout. Supply your own glossary and it follows yours strictly.

Layout preserved

Section hierarchy, numbering, lists, tables, and equation positions stay intact, so no reformatting pass is needed afterwards.

Context-aware word choice

The same word means different things in different fields; renderings are chosen for the document domain rather than taking the first dictionary entry.

Uncertain terms kept in the original

Newer concepts without an accepted equivalent are left in the source language with an explanatory note, instead of inventing a term that confuses readers further.

How it works

  1. Read through and build the glossaryThe document is read as a whole, its field identified, and frequent technical terms extracted into a mapping.
  2. Confirm key renderingsRenderings for key terms are put to you first, and your own glossary can override them outright.
  3. Translate section by sectionTranslation proceeds structurally, checked against the glossary throughout to hold consistency.
  4. Review passA full read-through checks terminology consistency and flow, flagging anything that needs human confirmation.

Worked examples

Preparing a paper for submission

Translate this paper into English. The field is materials science, use the conventional terminology for that field, and do not touch equation or figure numbering.

An English draft with unified terminology and intact structure, delivered with the glossary, and numbering left exactly as it was.

Reading foreign-language material quickly

Translate these Japanese technical documents into English. I need to understand the process flow they describe.

Translations with process terminology unified across all the documents so they can be read side by side.

Frequently asked questions

Which languages are supported?

Translation between common languages, with the strongest support among widely used ones including Chinese, English, Japanese, and Korean. Multiple target languages can be requested at once.

How is this different from a normal translation tool?

Whole-document consistency and layout preservation. Ordinary tools translate sentence by sentence without document memory, so terminology drifts; here a glossary is built first and applied throughout.

Can I dictate specific renderings?

Yes. Provide a glossary and it is followed strictly, with conflicts raised rather than silently resolved.

Can it translate spreadsheets and PDFs directly?

Yes. Spreadsheet translation preserves row and column structure, and PDFs are parsed before translation with section hierarchy retained as far as possible.
