Frequently Asked Questions

Can Google Translate really not handle PDFs?

No, Google Translate has no built-in PDF support. You must manually copy and paste text, which destroys all formatting, loses images, and breaks tables. For any professional document, this makes it essentially unusable.

How does Lekhak preserve formatting when Google Translate can't?

Lekhak processes the entire document structure, not just the text. We analyze layouts, tables, fonts, and styles, then reconstruct them perfectly in the target language. Google Translate only handles raw text, so it has no concept of document structure.

Is Lekhak's translation quality as good as Google's?

Yes, and often better. Lekhak uses multiple AI translation engines including Google's API, but also Gemini and GPT models. We can select the best engine for your specific document type and validate the quality, something standalone Google Translate cannot do.

What about Google Translate's mobile app with camera feature?

The camera feature is limited to small text snippets and street signs. It cannot handle full documents, preserves no formatting, and provides no way to export the translation as a document. Lekhak handles complete documents up to 50MB with perfect formatting.
