Hi Product Hunt! 👋
I'm Simon, creator of TranslateThatDoc.
I built this because I've been in your shoes — translating insanely complex documents between Korean and English for immigration, legal, and bureaucratic nightmares.
When my wife recently got her green card, our immigration lawyer told us we needed official translations of all the government docs. I tried Gemini, ChatGPT, and Claude. The translations were fine, but getting them to preserve the original layout and structure? Total disaster. Tables, stamps, signatures, formatting — everything broke.
Then I tried using Claude Code and it worked fantastically. It could actually code up a perfect layout-preserving version. But I quickly realized not everyone has access to Claude Code (or Codex-level subscriptions), and even if they do, most people don't want to spend hours prompting and debugging just to get a clean translated document.
So I built TranslateThatDoc.
It's a smart wrapper around the GPT-5.4 model that generates a fully layout-preserving translated document from scratch inside a secure sandboxed environment. No matter how messy or complex the original is, you get a high-quality translation that looks almost identical to the source — every detail intact.
It's especially powerful for immigration, legal, and cross-border bureaucratic work. It can easily save you dozens of hours and hundreds of dollars (that's what freelancers and agencies quoted me on platforms like Soomgo in Korea).
If you're dealing with the same headache and want an affordable, reliable, layout-perfect translation solution, I'd love your feedback on this launch!
Surprisingly lots of effort was put into it to make sure the agent can code up the translated document from scratch to look exactly like the original document, no matter how complex the doc is. Some court decrees and official docs have crazy complex layout and preserving the layout of such docs wasn't really possible without fully utilizing the coding model and programming each page as if it's a reconstruction job.
Anyways, was lots of hard but fun work building it!
Hope this actually saves people lots of time and money.
