How to translate document

Sign in — 500 free credits a month.
Drop the document, pick the language.
Run Translate and download the text.

What happens to your file

The document’s text is extracted in reading order and translated by a model inside Fylane’s sandbox. The result is text — the layout of the original is not rebuilt around the new words.

One run covers 6,000 characters, about two pages. Longer documents are translated from the start and flagged as truncated; split them first for the rest.

Questions

Do I get a translated PDF back?

Not yet — you get the translated text, which you can paste into the original’s layout. Layout-preserving translation is on the list.

What does it cost?

Four credits per megabyte of the document, minimum four.

Do it once, not on every form

Fixing a file here means downloading it and going back to the form. The Fylane extension does this work inside the form instead, on the file you already have.

And it keeps the result. The next application that asks for a résumé, a cover letter and a photo fills all three from one tap, each one refitted to what that site accepts.

Your files stay in the browser, encrypted, on your machine. Nothing is uploaded to keep them and nothing is sent anywhere to fill a form.

Filmed from the extension: three upload fields on a job application, filled from one tap.

Add to Chrome — free What it does

Do this in code

curl -X POST https://api.fylane.dev/v1/jobs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FYLANE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "file_id": "<file id>",
    "operation": "ai.translate",
    "options": {
      "language": "en"
    }
  }'

The same operation, ai.translate — The document’s text translated into another language by the in-sandbox model; `language` is a code such as `fr` or `es`. Up to the model’s window of 6,000 characters; longer documents are translated up to it and flagged `truncated`. Upload first with the quickstart; every option is on the operations page. 500 free credits a month, then $5 per thousand.
