Italian paperwork tends to arrive as scans of comune-issued certificates, apostilled records, and notarial deeds — exactly the documents people need in English for U.S. or UK visa files, dual-citizenship (jure sanguinis) applications, and university admissions. Reglyph reads the scan with OCR + AI, erases the Italian text from the page image, and typesets the English translation back in place, so stamps, seals, and the certificate's table structure stay exactly where they were.
Italian civil-status certificates are built around pre-printed tables, revenue stamps (marche da bollo), and round comune seals that overlap the text — layout that ordinary converters flatten into a wall of paragraphs. Italian also runs noticeably longer than English in places and shorter in others, so a naive translation drifts out of its boxes. Reglyph fits the English back into the original cells and keeps every stamp and seal untouched, which matters when a reviewer compares your translation against the source page.


Drag to compare — every table, figure, and number stays in place.
These are the Italian-language documents people most often translate to English — each keeps its original layout, seals, and tables.
Drop in a scanned Italian PDF, a digital PDF, or a photo of the page. Image-only files are fine — no text layer needed.
OCR extracts the Italian text, then it's translated to English while the original text is erased from the page.
Get a clean PDF where tables, figures, stamps, and numbers sit exactly where they were.
Yes — upload the scan and Reglyph erases only the Italian text, then places the English translation in the same spots, leaving the apostille page, stamps, and seals visually intact. The output is a machine translation, so if the receiving authority requires a certified translation, a professional translator still needs to review it and sign the certification. Reglyph gets the draft and the formatting right first, which is usually the slow part.
Scan or photograph the certificate, upload it, and you'll get an English version with the same table layout — dates, article references, and the 'NULLA' entries stay in their original positions. You can also export a bilingual side-by-side PDF, which many applicants attach so the officer can compare both versions. For consulates that demand a sworn or certified translation, treat Reglyph's output as the working draft a human certifier reviews.
Clearly printed or typewritten scans generally work well; the OCR handles typewriter fonts and faded ink better than you might expect, though results depend on scan quality. Heavily handwritten registry entries — common in pre-1970s comune records — are unreliable and we don't promise accuracy there.
