If the language of the content in the source document is known, we recommend that you specify the source language in the request to get a better translation. If the document has content in multiple languages or the language is unknown, then don't specify the source language in the request. Document Translation automatically identifies language for each text segment and translates.

When text is translated from the source to target language, the overall length of translated text can differ from source. The result could be reflow of text across pages.

* Various factors influence the preservation and retention of font style. For instance, some fonts aren't available in both the source and target languages. Typically, the same font style, or an optimally suited alternative, is applied to the target language to maintain formatting that most closely resembles the original source text.
