Can I translate a PDF?

Not directly. Export it as DOCX (Word) first — PDF layout can’t be preserved reliably during translation.

What happens if I close the tab?

The translation runs on our servers, so it continues — reopen the tool to pick the result back up. The download link expires in 10 minutes.

Should I review the translated document?

Yes. The tool preserves Word structure where possible, but translated wording and complex formatting still need review before publication or formal use.
