Can I translate scanned Wolof documents to English?
Yes. Lekhak specializes in scanned document translation — faded, old, or poorly scanned Wolof 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 Wolof image or photo to English?

What is the most accurate free Wolof to English translator?
Lekhak offers one of the most accurate Wolof 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.

Upload your Wolof 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 Wolof the same as French when translating Senegalese documents?
No. While French is also an official language of Senegal, Wolof is an entirely separate Niger-Congo language spoken by over 80% of Senegalese people. Many local documents, especially personal correspondence and traditional texts, are written in Wolof. Lekhak handles both Wolof and French to English translation separately.
