A Legal Document Translation API That Respects Your Layouts

The Bluente Translation API supports a wide range of document formats including PDF (both native and scanned), DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, and images. Our format-preserving technology maintains the original layout, styling, tables, charts, images, headers/footers, and legal numbering across all supported formats. For scanned documents, our advanced OCR capability converts non-selectable text into editable, searchable, and translatable content while preserving the original structure.

Unlike generic text translation APIs, Bluente's file-based API is specifically designed to preserve complex document structures during translation. Our layout-aware engine maintains tables, charts, footnotes, numbering styles, and other formatting elements exactly as they appear in the original document. This eliminates the need for post-translation reformatting work, making the translated documents immediately ready for review, sharing, or filing—particularly critical for legal documents where structure and formatting carry legal significance.

Bluente's Translation API offers enterprise-grade security with SOC 2 compliance, ISO 27001:2022 certification, and GDPR compliance. The API implements end-to-end encryption for secure data transfer, controlled processing environments, and automatic file deletion protocols. These security measures and internationally recognized compliance certifications make it suitable for handling sensitive legal documents, contracts, evidence, and confidential business information.

The API supports batch upload functionality with real-time job tracking and webhook notifications for job completions. It can process large files and multi-document batches within minutes, enabling time-sensitive workflows like M&A due diligence, eDiscovery, and cross-border operations. The system is built for scale with 99.9% uptime backed by global CDN, making it reliable for enterprise-level document processing requirements.

Yes, Bluente's Translation API features advanced OCR (Optical Character Recognition) capabilities specifically designed for scanned documents. It can convert non-selectable text in scanned PDFs and images into editable, searchable, and translatable content while preserving the original structure. This makes it particularly valuable for legal teams dealing with legacy documents, court filings, or evidence that often comes in scanned format.

Unlike generic text-based translation APIs that only handle strings of text, Bluente's API is file-based and specialized for complete documents. It preserves the entire document structure during translation, including layouts, tables, and formatting. It also offers bilingual outputs for side-by-side review, handles tracked changes, and includes advanced OCR for scanned documents. With enterprise security compliance and legal-specific features, it's purpose-built for professional document workflows rather than simple text translations.
