Translation
Translation turns documents you have already added to Judicio into another language, one page at a time, and keeps the page layout of the original. When a run finishes you get a reading view of the translated pages, with the option to put the source PDF alongside them.
When to reach for it
Use Translation when you need a readable version of a document that is in the wrong language for the person who has to work with it: a foreign-language contract before a review, an exhibit before a bundle goes out, a judgment you want to search in English.
Each file in a run carries its own target language and its own page range. That makes it equally useful for a single 200-page filing where you only need pages 40 to 60, and for a folder of correspondence where three documents go to English and two go to Hindi.
At a glance
- Input: up to 10 documents, chosen in the shared Files panel.
- Per file: a target language and either all pages or a custom page range.
- Languages: 116, listed in one dropdown. Your jurisdiction's languages are promoted to the top of it.
- Source language: detected for you and shown as a badge on each file. You never set it.
- Output: one translated document per file, paginated to match the original.
- Review: page navigation, in-document search, and a View source toggle that opens the original PDF beside the translation.
- Export: PDF or Word (.docx), or Save to Judicio to put a PDF copy back in your File Library.
- Credits: charged per page. The confirmation modal quotes the estimate before anything starts.
What Translation does not have
Several things you will find in Judicio's other tools are deliberately absent here, because a translation needs no instruction beyond a language and a page range:
- No composer. There is nothing to type. You choose files, set a language, and start.
- No Deep Mode. The confirmation modal for Translation carries no mode toggle.
- No templates. Nothing to author, save, or reuse between runs.
- No assistant rail. The result screen is a reader, not a conversation.
The three-step trail across the top of the home screen names the whole job: pick documents, choose a language, review and run.
What a run costs
| Action | Cost | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Translate a document | 1 credit per page | 20 pages = 20 credits |
Credits
The page count you are billed for is the page count you selected, so a custom range on a long document costs less than the whole file. The Confirm translation modal shows the estimate and your remaining balance before the run starts. For the full picture, see Credits Explained.
