How the Word translator works

A .docx file is a package of XML where the words live separately from the formatting. Instead of converting your document to another format and back (which loses layout), this tool translates the text in place and rebuilds the file with every font, color, style, table, and header exactly where it was. Bold and emphasized words are repositioned to fit the grammar of the target language, so the result reads naturally instead of word-for-word.

What gets translated

  • Body text, headings, and lists
  • Tables (every cell)
  • Headers and footers

What stays untouched

  • All fonts, colors, sizes, bold/italic/underline, and paragraph styles
  • Tables, images, page layout, and section breaks
  • URLs, email addresses, and numbers

Tips for the best translation

  • Add a glossary for brand names and product terms so they stay consistent
  • Pick a specific target variant (e.g. Latin American vs European Spanish) for the right tone
  • Leave source language on Auto-detect if you are not sure
  • Save macro-enabled documents as a normal .docx before uploading

Frequently asked questions

Will translating my Word document change the formatting?

No. A .docx file keeps its words separately from its design, so this tool replaces only the text and rebuilds the same file. Every font, color, size, bold and italic run, paragraph style, table, image, header, footer, and page break comes back exactly where it was.

What parts of the document get translated?

Body text, headings, lists, every table cell, and the text in headers and footers. URLs, email addresses, and numbers are left alone on purpose.

How big a Word file can I upload?

Up to 15 MB per .docx file. If yours is larger, it is usually images rather than text, so compressing the pictures in Word will normally bring it under the limit.

Can I translate a .doc or .docm file?

Not directly. Open it in Word and use File then Save As to save a normal .docx first, then upload that. Macro-enabled .docm files need the same step.

Can I keep brand names and product terms untranslated?

Yes. Add them to the glossary before you translate, one term per line, and they stay consistent everywhere they appear in the document.

Do I need an account, and is it really free?

No account, no email, no signup. The Word translator is free to use and there is nothing to install.

Are my documents stored after translation?

No. Your file is processed in memory to produce the translation and is not kept afterwards, so there is no stored copy to delete. The text is sent to the Gemini API from Google to be translated, on the paid tier, where the terms state prompts and responses are not used to improve Google products.

Tested, not promised

13/13 fixtures

Only the text changed. Every other byte of the document is provably untouched. That is not a claim, it is the result of a published test harness run against the same engine this page uses, translating to French.

What happens to your document

Never stored

We never write your document to disk. It is held in memory only for as long as the translation takes, then released when your download is handed back. Other tools promise to delete your uploads after 24 hours. We have nothing to delete, because no copy is ever made.

There is no account and no email, so nothing is tied to you. The only thing we keep is a tally: how many translations ran, on which tool, between which two languages. Not your text, not your document, not a name.

To translate it, the text itself is sent to Google, through their Vertex AI platform, which runs the Gemini model we use. We pay Google for every call. What Google may do with what we send is governed by their Service Specific Terms, not by anything we control, so we name the processor and link the terms rather than characterise a policy we cannot check ourselves.

If a document is confidential enough that no third-party API may see it, do not upload it here, or to any free online translator. That is the honest answer.
