Could you build this?
Partial General translation wrapper apps are simple, but supporting 475 languages including cuneiform and hieroglyphs while preserving complex document layouts (PDF/DOCX/PPTX) requires heavy domain pipelines.
What it would actually take: It requires document parsing pipelines (PDF layout engines like PDFMiner, OCR with bounding box retention) paired with specialized translation models fine-tuned on rare, ancient, and low-resource languages. Coordinating font re-rendering, text reflowing across ancient scripts, and round-tripping complex Office/PDF formats is an intricate engineering challenge.
