ReglyphTranslate German PDFs & documents to English
scanned or digital — without breaking the layout
Scanned German documents — academic certificates, legal contracts, technical datasheets, and official Amt paperwork — frequently need an English version. Reglyph OCRs the German text, erases it, and rebuilds the page in English so tables, headers, and stamps stay aligned.
Working from paper? Scan and translate German to English — how to get a usable scan, and what happens to it.
Long compound words and umlauts
German forms very long compound words and uses umlauts (ä, ö, ü) and ß. These can break OCR and overflow tight layouts. Reglyph reads them correctly and refits the (usually shorter) English back into the original blocks.
Drag to compare — every table, figure, and number stays in place.
Common scanned German documents we translate
These are the German-language documents people most often translate to English — each keeps its original layout, seals, and tables.
How to translate a scanned German document
Drop in a scanned German PDF, a digital PDF, or a photo of the page. Image-only files are fine — no text layer needed.
OCR extracts the German text, then it's translated to English while the original text is erased from the page.
Get a clean PDF where tables, figures, stamps, and numbers sit exactly where they were.
German → English — frequently asked
Can it translate a scanned German contract with tables?
Yes. Contract tables and clause numbering are preserved while the German is translated to English.
Does it handle umlauts and ß?
Yes. ä, ö, ü, and ß are recognized correctly, which is essential for names and legal terms.
Will the page count stay the same?
Yes. Reglyph translates page by page, so the output mirrors the original document's pages.
Is this a German PDF to English PDF converter?
In effect, yes: you upload a German PDF and download an English one. The pages are OCR'd, translated, and re-typeset in place, so the converted file keeps the original layout instead of coming back as plain text.
Can I use this instead of a German translation service?
For reading, filing and working drafts, yes — the translation is complete, layout-faithful and ready in minutes rather than an agency's multi-day turnaround. For submissions that require certification, it becomes the draft a certifying translator reviews and signs.

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.
