ReglyphTranslate English PDFs & documents to Italian
scanned or digital — without breaking the layout
The single biggest driver here is citizenship: applicants for Italian citizenship by descent assemble packets of US birth, marriage, and death certificates spanning generations, all of which must be presented in Italian with their apostilles. Businesses have their own version of the problem — English contracts, catalogs, and technical files that Italian partners, notaries, and customers expect in Italian. Reglyph translates the scan and re-typesets the Italian into the original layout; the first 5 pages are free.
Italian expands English — certificates feel it most
Italian runs roughly 15–25% longer than English, and vital records are dense grids of short labels — "Place of birth", "County clerk" — that each grow when translated. Reglyph erases the English from the page image and re-typesets the Italian inside each original field, so the certificate's grid, the registrar's stamp, and the apostille all stay aligned. The result reads as the same document, in Italian.
Drag to compare — every table, figure, and number stays in place.

These are the English-language documents people most often translate to Italian — each keeps its original layout, seals, and tables.
How to translate a scanned English document
Drop in a scanned English PDF, a digital PDF, or a photo of the page. Image-only files are fine — no text layer needed.
OCR extracts the English text, then it's translated to Italian while the original text is erased from the page.

English → Italian — frequently asked
Can I use Reglyph for my Italian citizenship by descent document packet?
Reglyph is a strong first step: it translates each certificate into Italian while keeping the original layout, stamps, and apostilles visible. Italian consulates and comuni require the final translations to be certified — typically a traduzione giurata sworn in court — so plan for a human translator to review and swear the drafts Reglyph produces.
How long does it take to translate a stack of 20 certificates?
Minutes rather than days — you upload the scans and Reglyph returns Italian PDFs page by page. Since jure sanguinis packets often run to dozens of pages across generations, the time savings compound; paid plans start at $5 and your first 5 pages are free to test the quality.
Will old, faded certificates from the early 1900s translate well?
It depends on the scan. Clear printed or typewritten text OCRs well even on aged paper, but heavy cursive handwriting — common on very old vital records — is unreliable. Try a page free first: if the OCR reads it cleanly, the rest of the packet will usually follow.
