Could you build this?

Partial Simple text translation is easy, but parsing arbitrary PDF layout trees (bounding boxes, font metrics, embedded tables, and images) and reconstructing exact layouts with translated text expansion is notoriously difficult.

What it would actually take: A production PDF layout-preserving translator requires an optical document analysis pipeline (e.g., pdfminer, PyMuPDF, or layout-aware vision models) to segment bounding boxes, paragraph structures, and graphics. Translating text causes character expansion/contraction, requiring custom typography reflow algorithms to fit translated text back into PDF stream operators without overlapping or visual degradation.
