These days, translating a digital document written in another language is relatively easy. There are many services online to choose from. However, what if you ever needed to translate a physical document?
Sure, you could scan the document, perform an OCR operation on it, and then take that digitized text and plug it into your favorite translation service. But this is quite a lot of work. What if you’re in a hurry? What if it’s a particularly important document and you need to translate it right away?
This is exactly what the Xerox Translate and Print app achieves. Let’s learn more about how it works:
“One Language In, Another Out.” How the Translate and Print App Works
The Xerox Translate and Print app is very easy to use. It doesn’t require any extra software, devices, or tools, just your modern ConnectKey-enabled Xerox MFP.
With a hard copy version of a document in a language that you want to translate, simply approach your printer, access the app, and scan your document in. In a few moments, it will be printed out again in the language that you chose.
What makes this truly useful is that the app is capable of maintaining the original layout of the document. This is one of the major limitations other systems have. When you’re translating text only, as might be the case in an OCR’d document digitally, you lose all formatting and layout from the original document. With the Translate and Print app, that original layout is retained.
In our tests, translated outputs have looked amazing. For the most part, documents look exactly the same, except they’re in your desired language.
Support for Over 40 Languages Makes Working With Multilingual Clients and Global Teams So Easy
The Xerox Translate and Print App has support for over 40 languages. Whether you work with multilingual clients or a global team, or you just want to be ready to break language barriers anytime it’s necessary, the app is the easiest way to translate physical paper documents into another language.
Of course, the app works both ways. Presumably, if you’re reading this, you speak and read English. If you ever were to receive a print document in another language, perhaps Spanish (or any of the dozens of other supported languages), you could easily scan that document into your Xerox MFP, access the Translate and Print app, and have it printed out in English, all while retaining the original layout.

The Xerox Translate and Print app is just one of a great number of apps, tools, and of course built-in features that work out of the box in a modern, connect-key-enabled Xerox MFP. For instance, take a look at the Xerox App Gallery where you will find many options to extend the functionality of your device. Customization, extension, and just generally having the ability to make your printer work the way you want it to work is one of the best benefits of using Xerox technology in your workplace.
