## Tagline
**Translate your Excel, Word, PowerPoint & PDF — keep the format perfect.**

## Nom affiché
Office Translator (by Wordly.art)

## Description courte (160 car.)
Translate office documents without losing the layout. Merged cells, formulas, tables, slides — translated in place, by the engine you choose.

## Description longue
Google and DeepL flatten your files into plain text. We don't.

Office Translator translates Excel, Word, PowerPoint **and PDF** **in place**: merged cells, formulas, fonts, borders, headers, footers, tables and slide layouts survive intact. Even scanned PDFs are handled via OCR (Mistral), and text inside images is translated via vision models.

Pick the engine per document — 6 providers:
- **Google** (free, fast)
- **Google Cloud**
- **OpenRouter** — eco & premium LLM tiers (DeepSeek, Gemini, Claude)
- **OpenAI** and **Grok by xAI** — for complex, context-aware translations

Plus:
- **Custom glossaries** — lock your HVAC, legal or medical terminology across every document
- **107 languages**
- **Private by design** — uploads deleted after 30 min, results auto-deleted within 2 h, never used to train models
- **API** on the Business plan (10,000 calls/mo) for your own tooling

Pricing: Free (2 docs/mo) · Starter €9 · Pro €19 · Business €49 · Enterprise custom. Yearly = −20%.

## Maker comment (à publier par le fondateur, 9 h EST)
> We built Office Translator because every other tool broke our layouts.
>
> The hard part wasn't translation — it was **re-integrating** the text. Our pipeline parses the document structure (cells, runs, shapes), extracts only translatable content, translates it (your choice of 6 engines), and writes it back into the **same** XML structure. Formulas, merges, fonts, borders: untouched.
>
> What I'd love your feedback on:
> 1. Which engine do you trust most for business documents — a classic engine like Google, or an LLM?
> 2. Would you use the API (Business plan) to wire it into your own workflow?
> 3. PDF (incl. scanned, via OCR) is already in. Which format should we tackle next — IDML, CSV, something else?
>
> Free plan = 2 documents/month (10 pages/doc, watermark), no card. Link in comments.
