How to Translate Word Documents Online While Keeping Formatting

February 20, 2025 • 4 min read

Need to translate a Word document but worried about losing your carefully crafted formatting? Tables, headers, bullet lists, and styled text can all break during translation. Here's how to keep everything intact.

Why Word Document Translation Is Tricky

A .docx file is actually a ZIP archive containing XML files that describe your content and formatting separately. When you copy text out for translation, you break the link between content and its styling. The result: a messy document that needs hours of reformatting.

The Repraze Approach

Repraze translates Word documents by working directly with the .docx XML structure. Only the text content is translated — all formatting instructions remain untouched. This means your output preserves:

  • Headers and footers
  • Table layouts and cell formatting
  • Bullet and numbered lists
  • Font styles, sizes, and colors
  • Page margins and section breaks
  • Images and their positions

How It Works

  1. Upload your .docx file to Repraze (up to 31MB)
  2. Select target language from 100+ options. Source language is auto-detected.
  3. Download your translated document. Open in Word and it's ready to use.

Credit Usage for Word Documents

Word documents use 1 credit per 1,500 characters. A typical 5-page document with ~3,000 words uses about 10 credits. This is different from PowerPoint which uses 1 credit per slide.

Supported Formats

Repraze supports .docx files (Word 2007 and later). If you have an older .doc file, first save it as .docx in Microsoft Word, then upload to Repraze. The .doc format uses a legacy binary structure that doesn't support in-place translation.

Tips for Best Results

  • Use styles (Heading 1, Body Text, etc.) instead of manual formatting for more predictable results.
  • Keep sentences concise — shorter sentences translate more accurately.
  • Review specialized terminology in the output, especially for technical or medical documents.
