Multilingual document generation: one template, every language
If your business operates across borders, every certificate, handbook, statement and contract has to exist in three or four languages - kept in sync. Paperless does it from a single source of truth: design the template once, generate every language version automatically. We've shipped EN/LT/PL/RU production runs for hospitality, construction and maritime clients.
Why parallel Word files always drift
- A policy update gets made in English; the LT and PL versions get forgotten.
- Designers and translators use different tools, breaking layout.
- Each new market = another set of files to maintain.
- Translations are pasted into Word, breaking formulas, fonts and headers.
- Audit prep has to verify every language against every version.
How Paperless handles multilingual at scale
- One template per document, with per-language string blocks.
- Translation memory: change once, propagates to every output.
- Per-locale formatting (numbers, dates, addresses) built in.
- Optional AI translation grounded in your terminology, with human review.
- Single audit log across all languages - so version history stays clean.

Read the case studyCommon questions
Which languages do you support?
+
Anything with Unicode support. We've shipped EN, LT, PL, RU, DE in production. Adding a new language means adding the string block - the template doesn't change.
Can the same document mix multiple languages?
+
Yes - useful for bilingual contracts (e.g. EN/LT side-by-side) or international compliance briefs.
Do you do translation, or do we provide it?
+
Both options. Most clients provide their own translations (legally vetted). We can also pair Paperless with AI translation grounded in your terminology, with human review for high-stakes docs.
How does this compare to Crowdin or Lokalise?
+
Crowdin / Lokalise manage translations of strings (UI, marketing). Paperless generates branded documents (PDFs) and uses translated strings as one input. They're complementary - Paperless can pull strings from Crowdin via API.
