How Word translation works
Upload
Drag in a Word file (.docx) or browse to pick one.
Choose a language
Set the target language; the source language is auto-detected.
Download
GLOTX rebuilds the file in your language — an editable .docx, ready to share.
What stays intact when GLOTX translates your Word document
Styles and headings
Heading levels, fonts, bold, and sizes carry over, so the document's structure survives translation.
Tables, lists, and images
Only the text is swapped for its translation; tables, numbering, and embedded images stay exactly where they were.
Still an editable Word file
The output isn't a flattened export. It's a real .docx you can open in Word or Google Docs and keep editing, commenting, and sharing.
Context-aware AI translation
The AI reads tone and subject matter — a contract stays formal, a manual stays precise — and keeps terminology consistent across the whole document.
Translate a Word document into more than 35 languages
Auto-detect reads the source language — you only choose the output. English, Spanish, German, French, Portuguese, Arabic, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, and many more, in any direction.
