Capabilities

## What Document Translation does

### Structure-aware parsing

Markup, tags, placeholders, and inline formatting are protected. Only translatable text is sent for translation, and it returns to exactly the right node.

### 25+ formats

DOCX, PPTX, PDF, XLIFF, XML, JSON, HTML, Markdown, YAML, PO, RESX, properties, DITA and DITAMAP, ADOC, MIF, TTX, and more.

### Office plugins

Translate inside Microsoft Word and PowerPoint directly, without exporting and re-importing.

### Glossary and style guides

Terminology, tone, and forbidden phrasing are applied automatically rather than corrected in review.

### DITA and structured content

Full DITA map handling for technical documentation sets, so topic reuse survives localization.

### AI proofreading and back-translation

A proofreading agent reviews as a subject-matter expert, and back-translation verifies that meaning survived the round trip.

How it works

## Four steps, one orchestrated run

Every stage runs on the same platform, so nothing is exported, re-uploaded, or handed between tools.

- 01

### Upload or use the plugin

Drop files into Universe, or translate in place from Word and PowerPoint.
- 02

### Set languages and terminology

Choose targets and the glossary or style guide the run should follow.
- 03

### Translate with memory first

Exact matches are reused for free, fuzzy and semantic matches are proposed, and models are only called for genuine gaps.
- 04

### Review and deliver

Route to a proofreader if needed, then export per-language files in the original format.

Who it is for

## Teams using Document Translation

### Technical documentation

Localize manuals and help centres without breaking topic reuse or conditional text.

### Regulated content

Pharma, finance, and legal documents where terminology must match an approved list exactly.

### Sales and enablement decks

Translate PowerPoint without the layout falling apart on longer languages.

### Product strings

Ship XLIFF, JSON, and RESX resource files straight from the repo into localization and back.

FAQ

## Questions people ask

Will my formatting survive translation?
+

Yes. Files are parsed structurally: tags, placeholders, styles, and layout containers are preserved, and only translatable text is replaced. Documents come back in their original format, not as a flattened export.

Can I enforce our approved terminology?
+

Yes. Glossaries and style guides are applied during translation, and translation memory reuses previously approved wording before any model is consulted.

Do you support DITA and structured documentation?
+

Yes, including DITA maps, so topic-based documentation sets localize as a set rather than as loose files.

Is a human review step available?
+

Yes. AI proofreading and back-translation run automatically, and you can route any run to your own linguists or to Vitra's proofreading network before delivery.
