What DocTranslator is
DocTranslator is an online service for translating documents and websites between any two of 108 languages. Its in-house engine rebuilds translated text in the original page positions, helping retain uploaded-file layouts. Supported plan formats include PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, IDML, TXT, JPG, PNG, and CSV. Built-in OCR extracts text from scanned PDFs and image files. Quality checks look for untranslated passages, wrong-language output, loops, stray characters, and changed numbers, then retry rejected passages. Uploads are encrypted in transit and at rest, and the company says documents are not used to train AI models. The free plan removes uploads and translations within 24 hours, while paid plans retain files during an active subscription. Pro and Business add API requests and MCP access for AI assistants. Users can also order certified human translations through the dashboard. Plans range from a free usage-based option to Basic, Pro, Business, monthly, annual, and trial offerings.
