Could you build this?
Partial A local desktop wrapper using open-source translation models is vibe-codeable, but robust offline PDF layout preservation and complex document parsing require deep document format engineering.
What it would actually take: The application requires an Electron or Tauri shell running local inference (via ONNX Runtime, llama.cpp, or local NLLB models) combined with document AST reconstructors. The primary challenge is maintaining exact visual layout in PDFs when translated text length shifts, requiring low-level PDF stream manipulation and precise typography re-flow engines rather than standard text replacement.
