Can I translate scanned Tongan documents to English?
Yes. Lekhak specializes in scanned document translation — faded, old, or poorly scanned Tongan documents included. Our OCR engine extracts the text first, then translates it to English. This is our core strength versus other translators that only handle digital text.
Can I translate a Tongan image or photo to English?

What is the most accurate free Tongan to English translator?
Lekhak offers one of the most accurate Tongan to English translators, especially for documents and PDFs. Unlike Google Translate which only handles plain text, Lekhak translates entire documents — PDFs, DOCX, scanned images — while keeping the original layout intact.
How to translate Tongan to English for legal documents?
Upload your Tongan legal document (court order, affidavit, agreement) to Lekhak. Our AI translates with legal terminology accuracy. For certified translation requirements, the translated text can be reviewed and certified by a human translator.
Is Tongan the same as Samoan or other Polynesian languages?
No. While Tongan and Samoan share Polynesian roots, they are distinct languages with different grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation. A Tongan to English translator cannot be used interchangeably with a Samoan translator. Lekhak handles each Polynesian language separately with dedicated AI models.
