Core workflow

Translation workflow.

Use this when deciding whether to translate one page, selected pages, or the whole project, and when recovering from failed or incomplete translations.

Scope

Pick the smallest useful run.

Translate this pageUse this to test a scan, provider, model, template, or output language before a larger run.
Translate selected pagesUse this for a relevant range inside a PDF or when only failed pages need another attempt.
Translate whole projectUse this after importing a multi-page work. Completed pages are skipped unless you choose retranslate all.

Batch

Understand the batch sheet.

  • Queued means the page is waiting for its turn.
  • OCR means the app is preparing source text or OCR assistance.
  • Image means the app is using the edited page image as translation input.
  • Cached means an identical completed result already exists and was reused.
  • Skipped means the page was already translated and the current batch is not set to retranslate it.
  • Failed means that page did not produce a saved completed translation.
Batch concurrency controls how many online pages run at once. Higher values can be faster, but may hit provider rate limits or make failures harder to read.

Cache

Earlier translations are preserved.

Changing provider, model, template, input mode, quality mode, OCR text, or image hash creates a distinct cache key. This lets you compare or return to earlier results instead of overwriting them.

  • Use cached history when comparing providers or restoring a prior result.
  • Use retranslate when the image, OCR, template, or provider should change.
  • Use AI comparison when you want a second opinion rather than an overwrite.

Recovery

What to do when a page fails.

  1. Open the batch sheet or page failure card and read the friendly error category.
  2. Retry if the message suggests a provider timeout, network failure, rate limit, or save verification issue.
  3. Use a different provider/model if the response is malformed or too short.
  4. Re-import or re-crop the page if the image data is missing, upside down, blurred, or incomplete.
  5. Use Health & Recovery if multiple pages fail to save or images look missing.
