Research Paper Translation
Reading a research paper in another language rarely stalls on the sentences. It stalls on navigation: which page did this conclusion come from, where did that formula go in the translation, do the reference numbers still line up. That is the part a paper translator has to solve.
Upload a paper to start translating
Geyi works on the whole paper. Formulas, figures, footnotes and references stay where they were, and every translated paragraph is tagged with the page it came from, so writing and citing trace straight back.

Key capabilities
- Formulas, figures, footnotes and references kept in place
- Every translated paragraph tagged with its source page
- High precision adds polishing and drift checking
- Personal glossary pins the terminology of your field
- Bilingual version, Zotero plugin and presentation generation to follow up
Why papers belong on high precision
High precision adds a polishing and drift-checking pass after the first translation: wording and sentence order are reworked paragraph by paragraph, and each passage is verified against the original meaning. In academic prose, moving one qualifier changes how strong a claim is — that check exists for exactly this.
Standard is faster and cheaper, which suits a first pass to decide whether a paper is worth reading closely. Run high precision once you know you will cite it.
Keeping terminology straight
One concept rendered three different ways across a paper is the classic tell of machine translation. The personal glossary in your account is applied automatically, pinning the terms your field insists on, and edits take effect on the next paper.
If your literature lives in Zotero, the plugin lets you right-click an item to translate it; the result attaches to the same entry and your glossary applies there too.
After the translation
- Bilingual version: a PDF and Word pair with original and translation interleaved, so proofreading and citing need one window.
- Export Word to keep annotating, or PDF to file straight into your library.
- For a talk, drop the paper into presentation generation — outline first, then an editable PPTX.
Geyi compared with generic machine translation and a manual workflow
The generic machine translation and manual workflow columns describe common cases; actual results vary by tool and method. The Geyi column lists only capabilities that are live in the product today.
See it in action
The first three pages of NASA’s magnetic-gear paper are processed through layout-preserving and reflowed bilingual pipelines, showing two columns, a specification table, captions and alternating English and Simplified Chinese paragraphs.
Layout-preserving translation, page 1: the title, abstract, two-column introduction and footnote are translated into Chinese and stay where they were; the two-column structure is kept.
Layout-preserving translation, page 3: the Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 captions and the two-column text are translated into Chinese in their original positions; English labels inside the images are not translated.
Before
The prototype’s response was measured at output speeds between 124 rpm and 744 rpm for a controlled output torque of 10 Nm (8% of the prototype’s maximum torque). After correcting for tare losses, the prototype’s efficiency was found to decrease from 90.0% to 83.0% as speed increased.
After
在受控输出转矩为10 Nm（原型机最大转矩的8%）的条件下，测量了该原型机在124 rpm至744 rpm输出转速范围内的响应。校正空载损耗后发现，随着转速升高，原型机的效率从90.0%降至83.0%。
Abstract excerpt (layout-preserving output, not hand-edited): units, figures and the glossary terms for “tare loss” and “torque” are applied consistently.

Frequently asked questions
Do formulas survive?
In layout-preserving mode they stay exactly in place, because only the text layer is replaced. AI reflow rebuilds the layout and treats each formula as a unit, placing it according to the restored reading order.
Should references be translated?
Reference entries are usually more useful left in the original, since citation needs the source bibliographic data. Where you want uniform handling, a glossary can pin the proper nouns that should not be translated.
How do I read it against the original?
Tick bilingual output and you get an extra PDF and Word pair with the two interleaved paragraph by paragraph. Each translated paragraph also carries its source page number.
What does one paper cost?
Per page. A 20-page PDF on layout-preserving and high precision is 4 credits a page, about 80 credits; through AI reflow it is 8 a page, about 160. The estimate appears before you submit.
Can scanned older papers be translated?
Yes, through AI reflow, which recognises the text first. Vertical and multi-column layouts have their reading order corrected automatically.
Can you guarantee academic accuracy?
High precision reduces drift substantially through its polishing and verification pass, but check key conclusions against the original before citing — machine translation does not replace your own reading.
Is my unpublished manuscript safe?
