The Translations panel creates language variants that remain linked to one source document. A variant is generated only when you request it, does not create another editable document, and can be previewed or exported as PDF, DOCX, or ODT.

​
Generate a language variant

  1. Open Translations in the document sidebar.
  2. Click Generate translation.
  3. Search for a language or navigate the list with the arrow keys.
  4. Select the language and wait for the translation to complete.
Autype checks the job while the panel is open. Closing the panel stops UI polling but does not cancel the server-side translation. Supported languages are English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Finnish, Czech, Romanian, Hungarian, and Turkish.

​
Preview and export

Completed variants are read-only. Use Preview to inspect the rendered PDF, or export the variant as PDF, DOCX, or ODT. The original document remains the single editable source of truth. If you need an independently editable translation, use the translated output as the starting point for a separate document instead of changing the linked variant.

​
Outdated variants

When the source document changes, existing variants are marked Outdated. Choose Regenerate to translate the current source revision. Previous exports are not modified. Autype preserves document structure, styles, variables, citations, formatting, page sections, tables, and form fields. It translates human-readable document text in context and validates that variable placeholders remain unchanged. Long documents are translated in ordered chunks with neighboring context.
Content from referenced reusable blocks, code and formulas, diagram and QR sources, URLs, and variable values is not translated. Detach a reusable block first if its resolved text must become part of the translated document.
