Translation at production scale — every detail preserved.

The numbers behind every document — the speed, breadth, and reliability you can build on. Over 50 languages move through a 13-stage pipeline, averaging under five minutes per document at 99.9% uptime. From the first upload to the final rendered PDF, every table, formula, and line of formatting stays connected.

The Engine

A 13-stage pipeline that understands documents

We don’t treat PDFs as flat text. Every document is parsed into a structured representation — layouts, tables, formulas, fonts, and reading order — before translation even begins.

Our Mission

Why we built Babel

We don’t just translate words — we preserve every table, chart, and formula. Upload a PDF in any language, get a polished translation in 50+ languages.

Our mission is to equip dreamers and doers with the most powerful AI tools, enabling them to shape a world beyond imagination.

Babel is that mission made real for documents. Every contract, research paper, and report someone creates deserves to reach the world — in any language, with every table, formula, and detail of their work intact. We build the tools; you shape what comes next.

Our Mission

To put the most powerful document AI in everyone’s hands.

So any document a person creates can reach the world — with every table, formula, and formatting detail intact.

In everyone’s hands

A free tier for all — no enterprise budget required.

Every document

Contracts, research papers, reports — any PDF, any language.

Nothing lost

Tables, formulas, and layout preserved down to the pixel.

Our Vision

A world where language never blocks knowledge.

Where understanding moves as fast as the people who need it — across every border, in every direction.

Tokyo → Berlin

A Japanese research paper, instantly readable by a team in Berlin.

São Paulo → New York

A Brazilian contract, reviewed in New York the same afternoon.

Borderless by default

Knowledge that flows freely, whatever language it was born in.

Our Approach

We don’t treat PDFs as flat text.

Every document is parsed into a structured representation — layouts, tables, formulas, and reading order — before a single word is translated.

13-stage pipeline

Documents structured before translation ever begins.

Full context

GPT-4o translates with complete paragraph context, not line by line.

Custom glossaries

Your terminology, enforced consistently across every page.

Core Values

The principles behind our engineering

Every decision we make is guided by these principles — from how we architect our pipeline to how we serve our customers.

Format Fidelity

Every table, chart, formula, and vector graphic must survive translation intact. We don’t approximate layouts — we reconstruct them with mathematical precision.

Privacy by Design

Your documents are never used to train AI models. AES-256 encryption at rest, TLS 1.3 in transit. SOC 2 Type II compliant. Documents auto-delete after 30 days.

Accessible Intelligence

Enterprise-grade translation shouldn’t require an enterprise budget. Our free tier translates 5 documents monthly — no credit card, no watermark on paid plans.

Read more

Our pipeline rebuilds each document from its underlying structure — not a flattened image of it — so what you get back stays fully editable and pixel-faithful.

From a free tier to enterprise SLAs, the same engine powers every plan — you scale only what you need, exactly when you need it.

Leadership

Meet the founders

The engineers behind Babel who turned frustration with broken document translations into a platform trusted by teams worldwide.

Vahe Aslanyan

Vahe Aslanyan

Co-Founder & CTO

Former ML engineer who spent years watching formatting break in translated documents. Built the 13-stage pipeline architecture that makes Babel possible. Obsessed with preserving every table cell and formula.

Tatev Aslanyan

Tatev Aslanyan

Co-Founder & CEO

Data scientist turned infrastructure architect. Designed Babel’s credit system, API rate limiting, and the real-time dashboard. Believes enterprise-grade tools should be accessible to everyone.

Our Culture

What drives us every day

Six principles that shape how we build, ship, and support Babel.

Engineering Excellence

We don’t ship “good enough.” Every pipeline stage is tested against thousands of edge cases — rotated tables, nested formulas, mixed-script paragraphs.

rotated tables nested formulas mixed-script

Privacy First

Your documents are never used to train models. We treat every uploaded file like it contains state secrets.

Global by Default

50+ languages across 3 tiers. RTL support for Arabic and Hebrew. CJK character handling. Regional variants for Portuguese, Chinese, and Spanish.

Speed Matters

Because waiting hours for a translated contract isn’t acceptable. Parallel workers keep average turnaround under five minutes.

Continuous Improvement

Every failed translation teaches us something. We track layout fidelity scores, formula preservation rates, and table accuracy across every document processed.
