Translate PDF

The PDF's text is extracted server-side page-by-page using smalot/pdfparser. Each page's text is split into chunks of roughly 450 characters (respecting word boundaries) to stay within translation API limits, then each chunk is sent to the MyMemory Translation API along with your chosen source and target language codes.

Translated chunks are reassembled per page; if the target language is Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, Urdu, or another right-to-left script, the tool automatically sets right-to-left text direction and enables mPDF's automatic font and script detection so the correct characters render properly.

The translated text for every page is written into a new PDF using mPDF, with each original page becoming its own page in the output, labeled by page number — producing a standalone translated document rather than a translation overlaid on the original layout.

• Getting a working understanding of a foreign-language document before deciding whether it needs a professional translation.
• Translating a form or instructions document for personal use.
• Quickly checking the general content of a foreign-language contract or letter.

• Relying on machine translation for a legally or medically significant document without professional review — automated translation is useful for understanding gist, not for anything where precision has real consequences.
• Expecting perfect layout preservation — translated text often runs longer or shorter than the original, which can shift formatting.

• Use the translation to understand what a document says, then have anything with legal, medical, or financial consequences reviewed by a qualified human translator before acting on it.
