Translate English PDFs & documents to Russian scanned or digital — without breaking the layout
Documents headed for Russian-speaking countries — powers of attorney, corporate documents, certificates being prepared for notarization or apostille — usually need a Russian version that mirrors the original page for page. Reglyph translates scanned or digital English PDFs into Russian and rebuilds each page, which matters when a notary or receiving office compares the translation against the original line by line.
Typesetting Russian into an English layout
Russian text typically runs 10–20% longer than the English it translates, and Cyrillic words tend to be long, so table columns and form fields sized for English overflow easily. Because Reglyph erases the source text and re-typesets the Russian into the same blocks, the translation is fitted back into the original cells — tables, seals and signature lines stay where they were instead of spilling into the margins.

Drop in a scanned English PDF (one from your phone's scanner app works) or a digital PDF. Image-only PDFs are fine — no text layer needed.
We read & translate
OCR extracts the English text, then it's translated to Russian while the original text is erased from the page.

English → Russian — frequently asked
Can I use a machine translation for a notarized or apostilled document in Russian?
No — notarization requires a translator who takes legal responsibility, and an apostille chain has its own formal requirements. Reglyph is the fast first step: it produces a Russian draft in the original layout, which a sworn or certified translator can then correct and certify far more quickly.
Russian text is longer than English — will my tables still fit?
Cyrillic translations often run 10–20% longer, which is exactly why overlay-style tools break tables. Reglyph erases the English and re-typesets the Russian inside the original table cells and text blocks, so the page structure survives even when the text grows.
Does it handle an old scanned certificate with stamps and seals?
Yes — scanned documents are what Reglyph is built for, and stamps, seals and signatures are preserved in place since only the text is replaced. Clear printed scans work best; heavily degraded or handwritten pages may OCR incompletely.
