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.
