Academic translator that keeps your terminology
General-purpose translators flatten technical vocabulary and drift in register. The academic translator keeps the meaning and the tone of scholarly text, and a terminology lock keeps each technical term translated the same way throughout the document.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Which languages are supported?
Spanish, French, German, Hindi, Chinese (Simplified), Japanese, Arabic, Portuguese, Russian, Italian, Korean and Dutch.
Will technical terms be translated consistently?
With the terminology lock on, each technical term is translated the same way throughout.
Can I submit a machine-translated paper?
Have a fluent colleague or the grammar checker review it first, and check whether your journal requires you to disclose AI assistance.
Does it translate PDFs?
Yes — drop a PDF, DOCX or TXT file and the text is translated.
Is it free?
Every tool opens on the free plan: a free account gets 50 tokens every month. Longer documents, downloads and some advanced modes need a paid plan — the tool tells you when you reach one.
Should I write in my own language and translate, or write in English?
Many researchers draft the argument in the language they think in, translate, and then revise in English. Either way, have the final text proofread — the grammar checker catches what translation leaves behind.
Can it translate LaTeX source?
Translate the prose, not the markup: paste the text of a section, then put the translation back between your LaTeX commands. Equations and citation keys should stay untouched.
