Format Preservation Benchmark

Intro (Answer‑first)

We run a repeatable layout‑fidelity benchmark on real documents (PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint) to verify that translated files keep tables, images, spacing, and page breaks intact.

Why this matters

• A perfect translation is useless if the layout breaks.
• Reformatting is the hidden cost of document translation.
• We measure layout preservation so you don’t have to guess.

Methodology (simple + transparent)

1. Select representative files: invoices, tables, manuals, slide decks, and multi‑column PDFs.
2. Translate with Trexlator using the same language pair across tests.
3. Compare side‑by‑side using a checklist of layout elements.
4. Score each file and report the average by file type.

Layout Fidelity Checklist

• Tables: rows, columns, borders, alignment
• Images: position, size, wrapping
• Fonts: size, weight, line height
• Spacing: margins, padding, line breaks
• Page breaks: pagination consistency
• Charts: labels, axes, legends
• Headers/footers: alignment and content

What we publish

• A short summary score per file type
• 2–3 annotated before/after screenshots
• Known edge cases (scanned PDFs, heavy graphics)

Limitations

We optimize for format fidelity, but complex scanned PDFs can still require manual review.
