Why Developers Choose Our Format-Preserving Translation API
Most translation APIs are built for plain text strings. When your application handles real-world files, tables break, charts disappear, and legal numbering falls apart. Your users are left doing hours of manual cleanup before they can act on a single translated document.
Bluente's document translation API is purpose-built for file-based workflows. It preserves the original layout, styling, tables, charts, headers, footers, and numbering across 22 document formats. Advanced OCR handles scanned PDFs and image files, making non-selectable text translatable without any structural loss.
For teams in legaltech, insurtech, edtech, financial services, healthcare, and ecommerce, formatting is not cosmetic. It is critical to usability, compliance, and trust.
Bluente is SOC 2 compliant, ISO 27001:2022 certified, and GDPR compliant, with end-to-end encryption and automatic file deletion so sensitive documents stay protected at every step.

Bluente's translation API supports 22 file formats: DOC, DOCX, PDF, PPT, PPTX, XLSX, XLS, PNG, JPG, JPEG, INDD, EML, AI, EPUB, SRT, HTML, HTM, XLF, XLIFF, XML, and DITA. This covers the most common document types used across legal, financial, healthcare, edtech, and enterprise workflows, including scanned image files processed through advanced OCR.
Bluente uses a layout-aware translation engine that maps and reconstructs the original document structure after translation. Tables, charts, images, footnotes, legal numbering, headers, footers, and text styling are all retained in the output file. Unlike text-based APIs that strip structure, Bluente processes the full file so the translated document looks and behaves like the original.
