Audience

Made for readers who learn through real books.

For readers, students, researchers, and professionals who need a readable translation aid for a PDF, not a temporary pasted-text result.

A reading layout, not a promise to clone every PDF page

PDF pages are fixed and often complex. BilingualText extracts the readable structure and rebuilds it as a clean interlinear PDF or EPUB, so source passages and translation can reflow naturally instead of being squeezed into the original page geometry.

Built for selectable-text PDFs

The best input is a text-based PDF where you can select the words. Books, reports, contracts, essays, and manuals with a clear text layer are the strongest fit. Image-only scans and highly visual technical pages are not supported yet.

Choose the output that fits the way you read

Choose bilingual PDF when you want a shareable, print-friendly reading copy. Choose EPUB when you want a fully reflowable ebook for a reader app. Both keep the original and translation close for comparison.

Common questions

What readers usually ask before translating a book file.

Can I translate a PDF to English?

Yes. Upload a supported text-based PDF, choose English as the target language, and download a bilingual PDF or EPUB with the original still available for comparison.

Does the translated PDF keep the original layout exactly?

No. BilingualText rebuilds the readable text into a new interlinear layout. This makes long-form comparison easier, but it does not reproduce every original page, column, diagram, or table position.

Can I translate a scanned PDF?

Not yet. Use a PDF with selectable text or OCR the scan before upload. The PDF workflow is designed for text-heavy documents with a reliable text layer.

Can I preview a PDF before using credits?

Yes. The upload flow shows the readable page scope and credit estimate before you commit to the full translation.

Preview the first pages before you spend credits.

Upload an EPUB or text-based PDF, choose source and target languages, see an estimate, then decide whether to unlock the full bilingual reading copy.
