How to translate entire files with your AI

Connect Systran to your AI client once. After that, your agent handles the heavy lifting of converting full documents without breaking their formatting.

Ask AI about this page

Short answer

Can my AI translate a whole document and keep the layout?

Yes. Your agent uses Systran to process the entire file, which preserves the original structure, tables, and formatting. You'll get a translated version that looks just like the source.

The outcomes

What you get

The results of the translation process.

READY

Translated documents

The AI produces a new version of your file in the target language. It handles the text conversion for the whole document.

PRESERVED

Original layout

The structure, images, and tables stay in place. You won't have to reformat the file after the translation is done.

HUMAN

Manual review

You still need to check the output for specific industry terms or brand names. The AI handles the bulk work, but you handle the nuance.

DONE

Final files

The translated file is ready for use immediately. You can download or move it to your next task.

The workflow

What your AI does when a file arrives.

The AI manages the handoff between your document and the translation engine.

  1. File ingestion

    Your agent reads the file you provide and prepares the content for the translation engine.

    translate_file

  2. Language mapping

    The AI identifies the source language and maps it to the target language you requested.

    translate_file

  3. Structure preservation

    The engine translates the text while keeping the original document's layout and elements locked.

    translate_file

  4. Output delivery

    The AI finalizes the translation and hands the completed file back to you.
