AcademicTranslate uses advanced AI layout analysis (layout parsing) algorithms and the MinerU framework. By analyzing the two-column layout, images, tables, and equations in your PDF document at the coordinate level, it remains faithful to the original placement and translates academic documents between English and other languages without breaking the formatting.

No, absolutely not. Our advanced AI engines filter mathematical equations, LaTeX expressions, and scientific symbols. While Google Translate or standard translation tools treat equations as normal text and break them, our system preserves them exactly in their original coordinates and formats.

Thanks to our OpenRouter integration, our system supports 22 of the world's most powerful translation models, including the completely free OpenAI gpt-oss-120b, Llama 3.1, Gemma 3, Gemini 2.0 Flash Lite, Gemini 2.5 Pro, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, o3-mini, and DeepSeek V3. You can choose any model based on your translation needs and use them according to their credit costs.

Yes. AcademicTranslate is 100% compatible with the double-column (two-column) layout templates of reputable publishers such as IEEE, Springer, and Elsevier. By correctly analyzing the reading order, it translates the left column first before moving on to the right column, completely preventing text overlap.
