Could you build this?
Partial The iOS app shell, on-device OCR, and cloud translation call are buildable, but preserving PDF layout while translating and restoring the original is a hard document-processing problem.
What it would actually take: The stack would be native iOS (Swift, PDFKit, Apple Vision OCR) with an optional cloud translation API and a credit system through StoreKit or a backend. The hard part is extracting text with positions, translating it, and re-rendering readable pages, which means handling fonts, columns, tables, and scanned documents. That requires document-layout and PDF-internals expertise.
