Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is the AI translation?
The AI provides professional-quality translations suitable for understanding document content. For official or legal documents, we recommend having a professional translator review the output.
Can I translate a scanned PDF?
No, the tool requires selectable text in the PDF. Scanned or image-only PDFs do not contain extractable text and cannot be translated.
Can I keep layout and terminology consistent?
Use the PDF Translation Brief workflow before translation to define protected terms, layout risks, and review steps. This translation tool returns editable text rather than a recreated layout-preserved PDF.
What languages are supported?
Over 20 languages are supported including English, Spanish, French, German, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Hindi, Russian, Portuguese, and many more.
Is there a page or word limit?
The tool translates up to 18,000 characters of text per request, which covers most standard documents. Very long PDFs will have the most important content translated.
Can I try it for free?
Yes, free users get 1 free translation per day. Pro users get 50 AI requests per day across all AI tools including translation.
