Translate your Adobe InDesign files without copy-pasting or rebuilding the layout
Upload your IDML file, translate the text in your browser, and then download a finished document with every font, style, and layout still in place.
Built for manufacturing marketing teams who translate brochures, product catalogues, technical guides and more. 100+ languages available.
Translating InDesign files manually sucks
Pulling every line of text out by hand, sending it off, then designers need to rebuild the whole layout once the translation comes back.
Each pass adds days, sometimes weeks, before your manuals, brochures, and guides are ready for another market.
And every manual copy-paste is one more place for a typo to slip in.
Enter Redokun: You design it once, Redokun handles 100+ languages.
Your layout comes back exactly how you built it
- Upload your InDesign file and Redokun pullsout the text for you.
- No pasting text back in. No rebuilding pages by hand.
- When the translation is done, you download a new InDesign file with the same fonts, styles, and layout already in place.
Your translators work in the browser, at the same time
- Invite your translators straight into the Web Editor.
- Several people can work on the same file at once, so you stop emailing documents around and waiting for one person to finish before the next can start.
- You watch each language’s progress in one place.
Change one line, not the whole IDML file
- When you update a document, Redokun only asks your translators for the sentences that changed.
- Everything already translated stays put, across all 10, 20, or 30 languages.
- A saved glossary keeps your wording consistent from one project to the next.

What designers and marketers ask before choosing Redokun.
Your layout comes back exactly as you left it: fonts, styles, formatting, and design all intact.
Redokun extracts the text from your InDesign file, lets your translators work on the content in the web editor, and rebuilds the translated file in InDesign format when you export.
You get a finished InDesign document ready to use, with no manual reformatting required. The same applies to Word, PowerPoint, and all other supported formats.
No. When you upload a revised version of a document, Redokun automatically identifies what has changed. Only new or updated sentences need attention — everything that was already approved carries over.
If you update a 60-page catalogue and only 10 sentences are changed, your translators only see those 10 sentences. This makes document revisions fast and keeps your approved translations intact.
Redokun generates a draft translation instantly using DeepL, ChatGPT, or Google Translate across as many languages as you need, at the same time. We currently support 100+ languages. Your translators then review and finalise directly in the web editor, so they're editing a draft rather than translating from scratch. This typically cuts the time your translators spend on each project significantly. We always recommend having a human review AI-generated translations before publishing.
Yes! Redokun supports the file formats manufacturing marketing teams work with every day:
Upload your original file directly and start translating immediately, with no preparation work required.
Your exported file comes back in exactly the same format, with design and layout intact.
File types currently supported:
Adobe InDesign: .idml
Adobe Illustrator: .ai , .eps , .svg
Microsoft Word: .docx
Microsoft PowerPoint: .pptx
Microsoft Excel: .xlsx
HTML5: .html
Subtitles: .srt
Plain Text: .txt
XLIFF 1.2: .xliff , .xlf
XML: .xml
JSON: .json
DeepL translates text. Redokun translates documents, and gives you back a finished file in exactly the same format as the original. With DeepL alone, you copy text in, get translated text out, and spend hours reformatting the result back into your InDesign or Word file.
With Redokun, you upload the file, generate the draft translation using DeepL, ChatGPT, or Google Translate within Redokun’s Web Editor, let your translators review it online, and export a finished, layout-preserved document ready to send.
Redokun also adds consistent terminology across every project, reuses approved translations automatically, and gives you full visibility into project progress — none of which a standalone translation engine provides.
Yes! Redokun is built around your existing translation relationships, not against them. Invite any translator by email and they can create an account and start working immediately at no extra cost per seat on most plans.
If you work with agencies or vendors who prefer their own tools, Redokun supports that too. You can export content in standard translation file formats and reimport the finished work.
Everyone works from the same project, whether they're in-house, freelance, or external.
The Project Pass is designed for one-time or occasional translation projects. It gives you access to Redokun’s core translation workflow for 30 days, with a simple pay-as-you-go pricing model.
Redokun’s subscription plans are better suited for teams with ongoing or recurring translation needs, wanting to build a scalable translation workflow. They include advanced features such as translation memory, AI fine-tuning, activity tracking, and long-term workspace access.
If you only need to translate a document once or don’t require long-term asset reuse, the Project Pass lets you complete your project quickly without committing to a subscription.
Redokun’s free trial is a great way to experience how quickly you can complete your translation projects. It doesn’t require a credit card.
The free trial is based on our Basic plan and gives you access for 14 days.
You can upload a file of up to 100MB, containing up to 20,000 words.
We support various file types, including InDesign (.idml), Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), HTML, SRT, JSON, XLIFF 1.2, and more.
Once you start translating your test file and see how it works, if you’d like to continue and complete your translation project, you can simply purchase one of our plans to keep translating.
