The problem
You're staring at a government document in a language you can't read. Your visa appointment is tomorrow.
A certified translator charges $75–$150 per document and takes 3–5 business days. Google Translate gives you a garbled word-for-word mess that misses every legal term and official abbreviation.
You don't need a certified translation for everything. You need to understand what the document says so you can prepare for your appointment, fill out the right form, or decide if the certified version is even necessary.
5 minutes. Any document. Side-by-side bilingual output. Done.

Without this tool

Who it's for
For Anyone Dealing with Foreign Documents
Expats & Immigrants
Living abroad means a constant stream of documents you can't fully read — medical forms, banking letters, government notices, housing contracts. Understand them in 5 minutes instead of paying $75–$150 each time.
International Students
University applications, transcript submissions, scholarship forms — every step requires document translation. Prepare and understand your documents before the official (expensive) process.
Remote Workers & Nomads
Every new country means new visa forms, tax documents, rental contracts, bank applications — all in a language you're still learning. Translate them instantly instead of guessing.
Families with Members Abroad
Urgent documents from family — inheritance papers, medical forms, power of attorney — that can't wait 5 business days. Understand what it says now, certify later if needed.
Immigration Lawyers
Speed up client intake by understanding foreign documents immediately. Know what you're working with before sending to a certified translator.
HR & Relocation Teams
Employee relocations generate stacks of foreign documents. Screen and understand them fast before routing to official translation.

FAQ
Common Questions
Is this a certified translation?
No. This produces informal translations for personal reference and understanding. For official/legal use, most institutions require a certified professional translator with notarization or apostille. This tool is for the 90% of cases where you just need to understand what the paper says.
What's the difference between this and Google Translate?
Google Translate gives literal word-for-word output that misses legal terminology, official abbreviations, and document context. This skill understands document structure, explains abbreviations (like T.C. = Republic of Turkey), converts date formats, and flags sections it's uncertain about.
Can it read handwritten documents?
It handles printed text, typed forms, and stamps well. Handwriting success depends on clarity — unclear handwriting gets a confidence flag so you know which sections are approximate.
What do I need to run this skill?
Claude Code or any Claude API-compatible agent runner. Upload a photo of the document or paste the text. Works on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Which languages does it support?
50+ languages. It translates into English from Turkish, Arabic, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Romanian, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Hindi, Urdu, Persian, Greek, Ukrainian, and more. It also translates into Turkish, German, French, or Spanish for non-English target needs.
What are confidence flags?
When the skill encounters handwriting, damaged stamps, or unclear sections it can't read with confidence, it marks those sections with a warning symbol. You know exactly which parts of the translation to double-check.
Can I use this for a visa appointment tomorrow?
Yes — for understanding the document and preparing for your appointment. If the institution requires a certified translation on the day, you'll still need a professional. But most appointments don't require certified translation of every document you bring.
Does the skill store or transmit my documents?
The translation runs through the Claude API. Documents are processed in context and not stored persistently. Review Anthropic's data handling policy at anthropic.com for details on API data handling.
