Document Translation Mode Guide


This guide explains the three translation modes available in Doclingo: Standard Mode, High-Fidelity Mode, and Reading Mode. You can choose the mode that best fits your document and translation needs.


  • Standard Mode

  • Standard Mode translates the entire document and generates a regular translated version.

    This mode is suitable for most translation needs, especially when you want to translate the whole document quickly without marking any special areas.


    How to use:

    1. Upload your document.
    2. Select the target language.
    3. Select the translation engine.
    4. Choose “Standard Mode”.
    5. Click “Start Translation”.


  • High-Fidelity Mode

  • High-Fidelity Mode allows you to mark areas in the document that should not be translated.

    The selected areas will remain in the original language, while the rest of the document will be translated normally.


    This mode is suitable when your document contains:

    1. Images or text that should stay unchanged
    2. Brand names, product models, or special terms
    3. Tables, diagrams, or fixed content
    4. Areas that need to keep the original format or language


  • Character Usage for High-Fidelity Mode

  • High-Fidelity Mode may use additional character quota for area enhancement.


    The enhancement quota is calculated as:

    2,000 characters per selected page


    Example:

    If you select 3 pages:

    Area enhancement quota = 3 × 2,000 = 6,000 characters


    Final usage:

    Basic translation character usage, including the selected engine multiplier + area enhancement quota


  • How to Use High-Fidelity Mode

  • Step 1: Upload your document

    Go to the document translation page and upload the file you want to translate.


    Step 2: Select High-Fidelity Mode

    Select the target language and translation engine, then choose “High-Fidelity Mode”.


    Step 3: Click “Mark Protected Area”

    After selecting High-Fidelity Mode, click “Mark Protected Area”.

    A new window will open for area selection.


    Step 4: Select the area that should not be translated

    Click “Area Selection” from the toolbar.

    Then select the area in the document that you want to keep unchanged.


    Step 5: Choose how the selected area should be handled

    After selecting an area, the area settings will appear on the right side.


    You can choose one of the following options:

    1. Ignore All

    All content in the selected area will remain unchanged and will not be translated.

    1. Do Not Translate Images

    Images in the selected area will not be translated.

    1. Do Not Translate Text Only

    Only the text in the selected area will not be translated. Other content will still be processed normally.


    Step 6: Complete the selection

    After setting the protected area, click “Done & Close”.


    Step 7: Start translation

    Return to the translation page and click “Start Translation”.

    After translation is completed, the protected area will remain unchanged, while the rest of the document will be translated.


  • Reading Mode

  • Reading Mode is designed for side-by-side reading and comparison.

    After the translation is completed, you can click the translated content. The corresponding original content will be automatically selected on the left side.

    This makes it easier to compare the source text and translated text.


    Reading Mode is suitable for:

    1. Manuals, contracts, papers, and long documents
    2. Checking the translation against the original text
    3. Reading the source text and translated text side by side
    4. Quickly finding the original content that matches the translation


  • How to Use Reading Mode

  • Step 1: Upload your document

    Go to the document translation page and upload your file.


    Step 2: Select Reading Mode

    Select the target language and translation engine, then choose “Reading Mode”.

    Click “Start Translation”.


    Step 3: View the comparison page

    After translation is completed, the comparison page will open.

    The original document will be shown on the left, and the translated document will be shown on the right.


    Step 4: Click the translated content

    Click any translated sentence or content on the right side.

    The corresponding original content on the left side will automatically be selected.
