Translate a paper while keeping equations, then verify key claims in the original
Make a reading translation of a paper while keeping a clear path back to equations and key claims in the original.
Choose one or two pages from a paper you have the right to read and translate.
Done when: Key terms, claims, tables, and equations have original-page checks, and citations use the original.
Before you start
- A paper you may process
- A glossary for terms that must stay fixed
What the original documents
PDFMathTranslate publishes equation- and layout-aware paper translation; PaperQA publishes cited paper Q&A; Anthropic documents supported PDF text and visual processing.
Claim boundary: The sources document capabilities, not translation accuracy or scientific validity.
This page explains a source-documented method. It is not an independent Studio Nani reproduction or performance guarantee.

- Compare each marked item with the original; cite the original, not the translation.Output: Checked reading aidCheckpoint: Technical interpretation remains human work.
