A Translation API Built for Complex Documents
Most translation APIs are designed for strings of text. They fall apart when handed a scanned PDF, a formatted legal contract, or a multi-sheet financial report. Developers are left patching broken layouts, and teams lose hours reformatting outputs before they can be used.
Evaluating a document translation API means asking the right questions: Does it handle scanned files? Does it preserve tables, charts, and numbering? Is it secure enough for sensitive data? Does it scale across high-volume workflows?
Bluente's API is built file-first. It accepts 22 document formats, including DOCX, PDF, PPTX, XLSX, HTML, XML, DITA, EPUB, images, and more. Advanced OCR makes scanned and image-based files fully translatable. Layouts are preserved automatically, with no cleanup required.
Enterprise security is built in: end-to-end encryption, automatic file deletion, SOC 2 compliance, ISO 27001:2022 certification, and GDPR compliance.

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 full range of documents used in legal, financial, healthcare, edtech, and enterprise workflows, including scanned image files that require OCR processing.
Yes. Bluente's API includes advanced OCR that converts non-selectable text in scanned PDFs and image files (PNG, JPG, JPEG) into editable, searchable, and translatable content. The original document structure is preserved throughout, so the translated output is ready for review and filing without additional reformatting.
Bluente uses a layout-aware translation engine that retains tables, charts, footnotes, images, headers, footers, legal numbering, and text styling across all 22 supported formats. Unlike generic text-based APIs, Bluente processes the full file and returns a translated document that mirrors the original structure, eliminating post-translation cleanup.
The Bluente Translation API supports translation across 100+ languages. This enables developers and enterprise teams to build multilingual workflows at scale, serving global users, cross-border operations, and international regulatory requirements without needing separate tools for different language pairs.
Yes. Bluente is SOC 2 compliant, ISO 27001:2022 certified, and GDPR compliant. All files are processed with end-to-end encryption and are automatically deleted after processing. These controls make the API suitable for sensitive use cases including legal contracts, financial filings, clinical records, and other regulated or confidential materials.
Yes. The API supports batch upload with live status tracking and webhook notifications for job completions. This makes it well suited for high-volume workflows such as M&A due diligence, eDiscovery, regulatory filings, and large-scale content localization where multiple documents need to be processed reliably and at speed.
Bluente offers a choice of translation engines, including ML, LLM, and LLM Pro, along with customizable translation profiles. This flexibility allows developers to tune the API for different accuracy requirements, use cases, and performance needs across industries such as legaltech, insurtech, ecommerce, edtech, and healthcare.
