On a Chinese official document the red seal is the point — and it is usually stamped straight across the characters underneath it.
Reglyph lifts only the printed Chinese off the page, so the seal, the ruled boxes of a 户口本 page and the photo on a certificate all stay put. English runs wider than Chinese, so the translation is fitted into the space the characters vacated rather than allowed to push the table out of shape.
Already have a digital Chinese PDF rather than a scan? Chinese → English document translation
Yes. Save the scan as a PDF — both iPhone and Android have a document scanner that does this — and upload it. There is no separate OCR step to run first; image-only PDFs are the normal input here.
Yes, and this matters more here than in most languages: the seal is what makes the document official, and it is normally stamped over the text rather than beside it. It is part of the page image, so it stays exactly where it is — including the characters it overlaps, which stay legible underneath the English.
Both are recognized, including a document that mixes them. Vertically-set text, which still turns up on older certificates and in some Traditional material, can be read, but the English comes back as horizontal text and will not match the original layout; horizontal pages give the best result.
