ReglyphTranslate English PDFs & documents to Portuguese
scanned or digital — without breaking the layout
US documents headed for Brazil — apostilled birth certificates, diplomas, FBI background checks — need Portuguese versions before cartórios and consulates will look at them, and companies entering the Brazilian market need product manuals and compliance paperwork in Portuguese too. Reglyph OCRs the English scan, erases the source text from the page image, and sets the Portuguese translation back in place, so the apostille, stamps, and signatures stay exactly where they were. Start with 5 free pages.
Portuguese grows past the English line length
Portuguese typically expands English text by 15–30% — "background check" becomes "verificação de antecedentes criminais" — which shreds layouts built around short English labels. Because Reglyph rebuilds the page rather than pasting text on top, each translated block is re-typeset inside its original boundaries: certificate fields, table columns, and headers absorb the longer Portuguese without drifting or overlapping the seals and apostille stamps around them.
Drag to compare — every table, figure, and number stays in place.

These are the English-language documents people most often translate to Portuguese — 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 Portuguese while the original text is erased from the page.
Get a clean PDF where tables, figures, stamps, and numbers sit exactly where they were.
English → Portuguese — frequently asked
Do Brazilian cartórios accept machine-translated documents?
No — Brazil requires a tradução juramentada by a sworn public translator for official use. What Reglyph does is produce a faithful Portuguese draft with the document's layout, apostille, and stamps intact, so the sworn translator works from a clean base instead of a blank page, which usually speeds up the certification.
Can I translate an apostilled document without disturbing the apostille?
Yes. The apostille page and any stamps or seals are part of the scanned image, and Reglyph only erases and replaces the printed text it translates — everything else on the page stays untouched. The result is a Portuguese PDF that still visibly carries the original certification marks.
Is the output Brazilian Portuguese or European Portuguese?
The translation follows standard Portuguese that Brazilian readers handle comfortably, which is where most English-to-Portuguese document traffic goes. For documents bound for Portugal, have a local reviewer check terminology — the bilingual side-by-side export puts English and Portuguese next to each other to make that pass quick.
