Translate English PDFs & documents to Brazilian Portuguese scanned or digital — without breaking the layout
People don't search for “Portuguese” when they mean Brazil — they say Brazilian, because the difference is real. Contracts for São Paulo partners, enrollment papers for Brazilian schools, HR policies for a Brazilian team, personal documents headed for a cartório: all of them read wrong in European Portuguese. Reglyph translates scanned English documents into Portuguese as Brazil actually writes it, and rebuilds each page so tables, letterheads and signature blocks stay exactly where they were.
Brazilian Portuguese is its own target
Brazilian and European Portuguese diverge in everyday vocabulary (trem vs. comboio, ônibus vs. autocarro), pronoun use (você as the default), gerund constructions and plenty of officialese. A document in the wrong variant signals 'translated abroad' to a Brazilian reader. Reglyph targets Brazilian conventions throughout. One honest caveat: for official use inside Brazil, authorities often require a tradução juramentada by a state-registered sworn translator — use Reglyph for the instant working version and the layout-faithful draft that makes the sworn step quick.

English → Brazilian Portuguese — frequently asked
Is this Brazilian Portuguese or European Portuguese?
Brazilian. Vocabulary, pronouns and phrasing follow Brazilian usage — the variant a reader in São Paulo or Recife expects. For European Portuguese, use the English to Portuguese page instead.
Will a Brazilian cartório or government office accept it?
For official filings inside Brazil, authorities generally require a tradução juramentada from a sworn translator registered with a state board of trade. Reglyph gives you the complete layout-faithful draft that makes that step fast — and for everything unofficial, the translation is ready to use as is.
Does it keep the layout of scanned English documents?
Yes — that's the point. The English text is read by OCR, erased, and the Brazilian Portuguese re-typeset in place, so contracts keep their clause numbering and forms keep their fields.
Can I translate a whole batch for a Brazil expansion?
Yes. Upload the set in one job — policies, contracts, product sheets — and terminology stays consistent across every document, which matters when the same defined terms appear in all of them.
