AI Document Translation Agent

In today’s global business environment, teams are constantly working across languages, but translating documents quickly and accurately remains a major challenge. Whether it's a legal contract, a product manual, or a marketing brochure, manual translation can take days or even weeks. Meanwhile, basic machine translation tools often break layouts, disrupt formatting, and fail to translate important elements like tables or graphs. Plus, they rarely account for the intended tone of voice, whether professional, technical, or casual.

Recursive’s AI Document Translation Agent solves this problem with a multi-stage AI-powered process that delivers accurate, format-preserving translations in just a few clicks.

How it works

1. Upload your document: Upload a file in any supported format (PDF, Word, PowerPoint), select the source and target languages, and choose the preferred tone of voice.
2. Content extraction: The system analyzes the document to detect text blocks, images, tables, and layout structure. OCR is automatically applied if scanned text is detected.
3. Text segmentation: Extracted text is broken into meaningful segments, such as sentences or paragraphs, while keeping information about the original structure and formatting.
4. AI-powered neural machine translation: Each segment is translated using large language models trained for high fluency, contextual accuracy, and appropriate tone.
5. Layout reconstruction and formatting: Translated text is placed back into the original layout, with automatic adjustments to font size, spacing, and flow. Visual elements like images and tables are preserved in place.
6. Export the final file: Within seconds, users receive a polished, translated document that mirrors the original and is ready to use.

What once required multiple tools, manual proofreading, and several rounds of review can now be completed in seconds. Whether you're localizing technical manuals, translating contracts, or publishing global marketing assets, the process is now faster, more accurate, and far easier to scale.
