Why AI Translator

16 advanced translation features

Professional-grade PDF translation — right in your browser.

100+ Languages

Translate PDFs between 100+ language pairs including English, Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Japanese, Arabic, Hindi, and many more.

Layout Preservation

Keeps your original formatting — paragraphs, columns, tables, images, and fonts stay exactly where they were. No reflowing or reformatting.

Auto Language Detection

Automatically detects the source language of your PDF. No need to specify — just select the target language and translate.

Batch Translation

Queue multiple PDFs and translate them all to the same target language in one go. Download individually or as a ZIP.

Page Range Selection

Translate the entire document or pick specific page ranges. Perfect for large files where you only need certain sections translated.

Custom Glossary

Upload a glossary of terms that should be translated consistently or kept in the original language. Essential for technical documents.

OCR + Translation

Scanned PDFs are automatically OCR'd before translation. No need for a separate step — text is extracted and translated in one pass.

Side-by-Side Preview

Compare original and translated text in a split view before downloading. Verify accuracy page by page.

Partial Translation

Choose to translate only text, only headers, or only specific sections. Keep some content in the original language.

Font Matching

Automatically selects fonts that support the target language's character set. CJK, Arabic, and Cyrillic all render correctly.

RTL & LTR Support

Full support for right-to-left languages like Arabic, Hebrew, and Persian. Text direction and alignment are handled automatically.

Translation Quality Score

Get a per-page quality score indicating translation confidence. Identify pages that may benefit from human review.

Multi-Format Export

Download as translated PDF, plain text, or bilingual PDF with original and translated text side by side.

Translation Memory

Previously translated segments are remembered within the session, ensuring consistent translations across the document.

Fast Processing

Translation runs in your browser using WebAssembly. A 20-page document typically translates in under 30 seconds.

100% Client-Side Privacy

Your documents never leave your browser. All translation happens locally — no uploads, no servers, total confidentiality.

Frequently asked questions

AI Translator extracts text from your PDF using pdf.js, then uses a local translation engine powered by WebAssembly to translate the content. The translated text is placed back into the PDF structure, preserving the original layout, fonts, and formatting. Everything happens in your browser — no data is sent to any server.
Over 100 languages are supported, including all major European languages, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Hebrew, Hindi, Bengali, Thai, Vietnamese, Turkish, Russian, and many more. Right-to-left languages like Arabic and Hebrew are fully supported with correct text direction.
Yes. The translator preserves the original layout — paragraphs, columns, tables, images, and page structure all remain in place. Font matching automatically selects fonts that support the target language's character set, so CJK, Arabic, and Cyrillic text all render correctly.
Yes. Scanned PDFs are automatically processed with OCR before translation. Text is extracted from the scanned images and then translated — all in one pass. You don't need to run a separate OCR step first.
No. AI Translator runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Your documents — contracts, research papers, medical records — are processed on your device and never transmitted anywhere. This is especially important for confidential or legally sensitive documents.
Translation accuracy depends on the complexity of the source text. General business and personal documents achieve high accuracy. Technical, legal, or highly idiomatic text may require human review — the quality score feature helps you identify pages that benefit from additional attention. Using a custom glossary improves consistency for domain-specific terminology.
Yes. Switch to batch mode to queue multiple PDFs and translate them all to the same target language. This is perfect for translating a series of related documents. Download all translated files individually or as a ZIP archive.
