What problem does it solve?
Standard PDF translation tools often break the original document layout, displacing charts, tables and paragraph formatting, making the translated document hard to read and reference, especially for complex academic papers or industry reports with dense visual elements.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Layout-Preserving Translation: Maintains the original PDF's chart positions, table structures and paragraph formatting in the translated output, eliminating the need for manual reformatting.
- Dual Output Formats: Generates both single-language (mono) Chinese PDFs for easy reading and bilingual (dual) PDFs with original text above translation for cross-reference.
- Flexible Translation Services: Supports free Google Translate for general use, paid OpenAI/Gemini services for higher-quality translation of professional terminology, and partial page translation for large files to reduce wait time.
- Use Case: Researchers translating foreign academic papers, professionals localizing industry reports with complex layouts, or anyone needing readable Chinese versions of formatted PDF documents.
