Translation shouldn't break your documents—or your workflow.

Whether you're applying for a visa, managing global business documents, or submitting academic research, translation is no longer a luxury—it's a necessity. But traditional translation tools often force you to choose between speed, cost, and quality.

Let’s talk about the reality:

Generic online tools butcher your document’s formatting, turning polished contracts or certificates into chaotic text dumps.
Professional agencies charge premium prices, with costs skyrocketing for urgent requests or complex layouts.
Manual reformatting eats up hours of your time, defeating the purpose of "quick" translation.

That’s why we built LanguageX Agent. Unlike most tools, LanguageX doesn’t just translate—it respects your content and your time. It was designed for real-world use cases like contracts, certificates, and technical papers, where formatting is just as important as accuracy.

What Makes LanguageX Different?

Flawless formatting preservation: From charts and footnotes to references and complex table structures.
Term extraction: Automatically identifies key terminology for your review.
Supports 16+ file types: Including DOCX, PDF, PPTX, XLSX, XLIFF, SDLXLIFF, and more.
Source + target file output: Get side-by-side versions or target-only as you prefer.

A Real-World Example: Academic PDF with Complex Layout

We tested LanguageX Agent on a technical research paper with:

Specialized terminology
Citation-heavy text
Embedded charts and tables
Varied font styles and section headers

LanguageX produced a flawless translation that:

Maintained 100% content accuracy: Every single word in the document was translated precisely without any omissions, including challenging elements like bar chart data and technical terminology.
Preserved layout integrity: All original document structures remain intact:
1. Line breaks and paragraph spacing
2. Figure captions and table labels
3. In-text citations and references
4. Complex elements like footnotes and headers
Handled visual data seamlessly: Even the bar charts were accurately localized while maintaining their professional appearance and readability.

How do other translation tools compare

We rigorously tested several leading alternatives, including ChatGPT, DeepL, Yandex, and Google Translate, with concerning results:

ChatGPT
- Formatting:
  - Original formatting is completely lost, with only the translated text generated
  - Charts are ignored and not included in the output
- Limitations:
  - Requires multiple confirmation steps
  - Extracted terms are inconsistent and arbitrary

DeepL
- Formatting:
  - Content frequently exceeds page boundaries
  - Disrupts original document flow
- Limitations:
  - Adds intrusive watermarks to all documents
  - Only supports .doc(x), .pdf, and .pptx formats

Yandex
- Severe quality issues:
  - Chaotic formatting that corrupts document structure
  - Multiple untranslated segments
  - Character encoding errors throughout

Google Translate
- Severe quality issues:
  - Mistranslated heading numbers as content (e.g., "4" became part of the heading text)
  - Completely omitted all chart labels and captions
