🔤 The ABCs of Bluente

Bluente offers a one-click solution that simplifies document reformatting. 

Traditional translation tools often struggle to retain formatting on tables, graphs, and other visual elements.

  • But Bluente? Their platform doesn’t just translate text. It preserved formatting across PDFs, Word files, PowerPoint decks, Excel sheets, and even images. 
  • So, yes, no more wasted time spent adjusting margins, copy-pasting, or spotting translation errors. Instead, you get a ready-to-use document fast.

📊 Why it matters

The tool is handy for global enterprises and firms that need to translate large volumes of work-related documents quickly.

  • An example. Law firms can use the tool to process and translate lengthy legal evidence documents with ease, giving them more time to strategize and offer legal advice.
  • It also makes it easier to translate documents in some Asian and Middle Eastern languages, where a different formatting system is used. 

How it works. Bluente offers both personal and corporate subscription plans. They currently serve over 70 global enterprises. 

🤔 What’s next? 

They’ll fuel geographic expansion in the Middle East, the broader APAC markets, and the United States.
