Translation example
An academic transcript, English to Spanish
A fictional university transcript written for this page: a header block, a course table, a summary and a grading scale. Numbers, grades and the table structure are checked; the notes say what still needs a human.

Every number and date figure kept
The digits of every quantity, amount, date and identifier are the same before and after (decimal separators follow Spanish).

Tables kept as tables
1 table, 20 cells.
-
Document language switched
w:lang en-US → es
-
Credits, GPA and scale unchanged
12 credits, GPA 3,6 and the 4,0 scale keep their values; the decimal point becomes a comma.
-
Grades kept, “Pass” translated
A, B+, A- stay; “Pass” → “Aprobado”.
-
Equivalence of grades
A translation does not convert a grading system. Ask the receiving institution how it treats the US scale.

Academic documents you can translate
Theses and dissertations
Review specialist terminology, formulas and references before submitting your thesis.
Transcripts and diplomas
Check the receiving institution’s translation requirements before using a transcript or diploma.
Check your academic translation before submission
AI translation is a draft, not a submission. Terminology in a specialist field, the reference list, and anything a committee will read closely are worth a pass by someone who knows the subject, particularly where a document is used to establish a credential.

Academic Document Translation FAQ
Can I submit an AI translation to a university?
Check with the receiving institution first. It may require a certified translation. Review names, grades and dates; translation does not convert a grading system.
Does ForgeFile support LaTeX academic documents?
Yes. You can upload .tex files directly. ForgeFile preserves mathematical formulas, theorem environments, \cite commands, and document structure - only the text content is translated.
What languages are supported for academic document translation?
100+ languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Russian, Arabic, Japanese, Portuguese, Italian, Polish, Dutch, and more - covering major academic publishing languages.
What file formats work for academic document translation?
PDF, DOCX, ODT, RTF, TXT and LaTeX, among others. Old theses and printed transcripts usually arrive as scans, and built-in OCR extracts the text before translation.
Are citations and reference lists kept in order?
Citation markers and the reference list keep their numbering and order. Author names, journal titles and DOIs are text like any other, so read the reference list once after translation - it is the part a reviewer looks at first.
Is my thesis or paper kept private?
Files are encrypted in transit and at rest. How long they are kept depends on your plan.
Is there a file size limit for academic document translation?
The maximum file size depends on your plan. For larger documents or high-volume batch work, contact us about enterprise plans with higher limits and API access.
