The problem it solves

Translating documents usually means finding a translator, waiting days for a turnaround, and paying per page. Formatting often breaks in the process, so someone has to clean it up afterward. You need documents translated quickly without losing headings, paragraphs, and bullet points.

Who it fits

A business that regularly shares contracts, product documentation, or educational materials with international clients or employees.

How it works

  1. Someone uploads a PDF through a simple web form
  2. The text is extracted and converted into a formatted document
  3. The content is translated into the chosen languages
  4. A polished PDF is generated in each target language
  5. The translated PDFs are emailed back with a cost summary
What you get

Documents your international clients can read today

Uploaded PDFs come back fully translated and formatted in the languages you choose, delivered straight to your inbox.

What you get

Professionally formatted translated PDF documents delivered by email, with a record of translation costs.

What you need

A Google Cloud account for translation, a document conversion service, and a Gmail account for delivery.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
