ReglyphTranslate English PDFs & documents to Spanish
scanned or digital — without breaking the layout
US companies send employee handbooks, HR policies, and safety training to Spanish-speaking staff every day, and families moving between the US and Latin America carry English birth certificates, diplomas, and medical records that local offices want in Spanish. Reglyph reads the scan with OCR, erases the English text from the page image, and typesets the Spanish translation back in place, so a signed contract still looks like the contract. You get a working Spanish draft in minutes — 5 free pages every day, no credit card.
Spanish runs about 20–25% longer than English
Spanish translations typically expand well beyond the English original — short labels like "Date of birth" become "Fecha de nacimiento", and table columns sized for English can overflow. Because Reglyph rebuilds the page rather than overlaying text, it re-typesets each block within its original region, so headings, table cells, and form fields keep their positions even as the text grows. Stamps, signatures, and seals on the scan stay exactly where they were.
Drag to compare — every table, figure, and number stays in place.
Common scanned English documents we translate
These are the English-language documents people most often translate to Spanish — each keeps its original layout, seals, and tables.
How to translate a scanned English document
Drop in a scanned English PDF, a digital PDF, or a photo of the page. Image-only files are fine — no text layer needed.
OCR extracts the English text, then it's translated to Spanish while the original text is erased from the page.

English → Spanish — frequently asked
Can I translate an English employee handbook to Spanish and keep the formatting?
Yes — that is exactly what Reglyph is built for. OCR reads each page, the English text is erased from the page image, and the Spanish translation is typeset back into the same layout, so numbered sections, tables, and callout boxes stay in place. You get 5 free pages a day, with no credit card required.
Which Spanish does Reglyph translate into — Spain or Latin America?
Reglyph produces standard neutral Spanish that is understood across Spain and Latin America. It is machine translation, so for region-specific legal terminology you should have a local reviewer check the draft. The bilingual side-by-side export makes that review fast, since the English original sits next to each translated page.
Is a machine-translated Spanish birth certificate accepted by authorities?
Usually not on its own — most authorities in Latin America and the US require a certified translation signed by a human translator. Reglyph gets you an accurate draft with the certificate's layout, stamps, and seals preserved, which a certified translator can then review and sign, often cutting their time and cost.
How do I convert a PDF from English to Spanish?
Upload the English PDF, choose Spanish, and download the converted file. Note that Spanish runs roughly 20% longer than English, so a converter that simply drops text back in overflows the page — Reglyph re-fits the translation into the original blocks and cells instead.
Can I translate a PDF to Spanish for free?
Yes. Every account gets 5 free pages a day, download included, for any language pair — including English to Spanish. Scanned PDFs work as well as digital ones, and the layout is kept.
