document translation

Text across languages

Document translation is the process of converting written text from one language to another while preserving meaning, tone, and formatting.

The term typically refers to professional or official translation of complete documents—contracts, manuals, certificates—rather than casual interpretation: The embassy requires certified document translation for all foreign paperwork.

In computing, it can also mean converting files between formats.
