ReglyphTranslate Arabic PDFs & documents to English
scanned or digital — without breaking the layout
Arabic documents — government certificates, contracts, bank statements, academic records — are frequently shared as scans or photos. Reglyph OCRs the Arabic text, removes it cleanly, and typesets the English translation back onto the page so the structure survives the right-to-left to left-to-right flip.
Working from paper? Scan and translate Arabic to English — how to get a usable scan, and what happens to it.
Right-to-left is the hard part
Arabic reads right-to-left and uses connected letterforms, so most translators garble the layout when switching to left-to-right English. Reglyph rebuilds the page after translation, keeping tables, headers, and official stamps aligned.
Drag to compare — every table, figure, and number stays in place.
Common scanned Arabic documents we translate
These are the Arabic-language documents people most often translate to English — each keeps its original layout, seals, and tables.
How to translate a scanned Arabic document
Drop in a scanned Arabic PDF, a digital PDF, or a photo of the page. Image-only files are fine — no text layer needed.
OCR extracts the Arabic text, then it's translated to English while the original text is erased from the page.

Arabic → English — frequently asked
Does it handle right-to-left Arabic correctly?
Yes. Reglyph reads the right-to-left Arabic, translates it, and lays the English back out left-to-right while preserving the overall page structure.
Can it translate a scanned Arabic contract or certificate?
Yes. Multi-page scanned contracts and single-page certificates both work; tables and signature blocks are preserved.
Will numbers and dates stay correct?
Yes. Arabic-Indic and Western digits are preserved exactly — important for amounts, ID numbers, and dates on legal documents.
Can I convert an Arabic PDF to English with a scanner or phone photo?
Yes. Photograph or scan the document, save it as a PDF, and upload it — no separate OCR step is needed. Converting Arabic to English also flips the text direction, so the page is rebuilt left-to-right rather than simply having words swapped in place.
Do I need a certified Arabic translation service, or can I use this?
For reading, filing and working drafts, this is enough — and it is instant. Where a court or immigration office requires a certified Arabic translation, use the layout-faithful output as the draft a certifying translator reviews and signs; the right-to-left rebuild is already done.

Guides on translating scanned documents
Gemini's long context makes it the most patient of the chat assistants with a big PDF. It still hands you back a conversation, not a document.
