Partial The side-by-side viewer and upload flow are easy to vibe-code, but preserving the original layout while swapping in translated text requires PDF layout parsing and reflow that is genuinely hard and fails on complex documents.
What it would actually take: The stack would be a PDF parsing library such as PyMuPDF or pdfplumber, a translation API, and a web front end for the side-by-side view. The hard part is reconstructing text blocks, tables, and columns so translated text fits the original geometry, which needs layout-aware engineering and extensive testing on real documents.
