Translate Word (.docx) and Keep the Formatting
Styles, numbering, bold and italic runs, hyperlinks and table structure are edited in place, so the document keeps the formatting it arrived with.
What Survives When You Translate Word (.docx)
- Styles, numbering and list levels are edited in place, so a heading stays a heading and an auto-numbered clause keeps its number.
- Images, charts and text boxes keep their anchors. Nothing is re-flowed into a fresh document.
- Headers, footers, footnotes and table cells are translated as part of the same document instead of being skipped.
- Inline formatting survives the run boundaries Word splits sentences into, so bold stays on the words that were bold.

What This Does Not Do
- Translated text is often longer than the source. In a fixed-height text box or a one-page form that can move a line onto the next page — the document stays valid, the pagination can shift.
- Anything the verify stage cannot confirm falls back to the source text, visible and untranslated. A file that looks finished but is not is the one outcome we will not ship.
Questions
- Do the Formatting Survive Translating a Word (.docx)?
- Styles, numbering, bold and italic runs, hyperlinks and table structure are edited in place, so the document keeps the formatting it arrived with.
- What happens to my file afterwards?
- Uploaded and generated files are automatically deleted within 24 hours, and are never used to train a model.

No card and no per-file character minimum. If a segment cannot be translated confidently you will see it fall back, rather than a green tick over a guess.
