Translayte, a global translation technology company, announced the launch of its proprietary product, Cipher, an AI-powered document translation platform that enables Language Service Providers (LSPs) to translate complex PDFs & Images instantly, while preserving original layouts and removing the need for post-translation desktop publishing (DTP).

Cipher addresses a common challenge faced by Language Service Providers (LSPs) and Freelancer Translators: the time and effort required to edit a document’s formatting before and after translation. Tables, multi-column layouts, links, and overall visual structure are often scattered during OCR & translation, forcing translators and project managers to spend more time cleaning them up.

In many cases, this also means relying on separate tools and workflows, such as templates, OCR software, or desktop publishing (DTP), just to make documents usable again. Cipher eliminates this step by automatically preserving layout from the original document to the final translated document.

Instead of choosing between speed and quality, LSPs can now create ready-to-send, layout-intact translations almost instantly, saving hours of manual DTP work.

“Most machine translation and OCR tools work well for text-based documents (e.g. DOCX, Searchable PDFs, HTML etc.), but they struggle when it comes to scanned PDFs or images,” said Tayo Ademolu, CEO and Founder of Translayte. “Cipher was built out of that frustration, allowing teams to translate documents, such as Personal Certificates, Manuals and PDFs with complex layouts and receive outputs that are structured and well-formatted.”

Simplifying translation workflows for LSPs

Cipher is designed for individuals, professionals, founders, and teams with high-volume, document-heavy workflows who require fast, accurate, well-formatted translation. It is commonly used to translate personal certificates, business documents, internal materials across global teams, and more.

Here’s how Cipher supports these workflows:

• Automatic layout preservation to ensure the translated document retains the structure and formatting of the original.
• Side-by-side review and editing, so users can compare the original and translated documents at a glance.
• Request edits or rewrites without restarting the translation process with a single click.
• Save terminologies or create translation notes while Cipher maintains consistency across documents.
• Instantly download translated documents in usable formats.

For teams and agencies managing multiple contributors, Cipher also supports:

• Shared team credits, allowing multiple users to work within a single workspace.
• Role-based access, so account owners can give different access levels and protect sensitive information.
• Secure external collaboration, allowing you to invite freelancers or external contributors to your document without offering full workspace access.
• Reusable translation notes, so your glossaries and instructions are consistent across projects.
• Private webhooks for automated workflows, allowing teams to connect translation runs to broader operations.

Cipher is built leveraging the latest AI technologies and follows enterprise-grade security practices, with full compliance with GDPR data-handling requirements. This ensures sensitive documents are handled responsibly while delivering translations that are accurate, readable, and ready for instant use.

Getting started with cipher

Cipher makes it easy to translate documents for various purposes. Simply upload the document you want translated, and the platform automatically detects its language. Select the language you want to translate into, include any translation notes (optional), and submit.

You can track progress in real time, review the output side-by-side with the original, make edits directly in the browser, and request revisions as needed. If you’re satisfied with the results, you can export in different formats, including PDF, DOCX, PPTX, and XLSX, create searchable PDFs, and merge multi-page files into a single document.

Cipher uses a simple, credit-based pricing model. Each credit is equal to one document page, and you can purchase as many credits as you want. Credits do not expire and can be shared across team members, making it easy to manage usage across multiple projects.

Cipher is now available globally. New users get 5 free credits upon registration.
