The problem with translating property paperwork
Pasting a registry extract into a generic translation tool has three problems. The layout collapses, so you lose the structure that gives the text its meaning. The result is disposable, so the next time you need it you translate it again. And the translation lives outside your property file, disconnected from everything else you know about the property.
BuyerWingman treats translation as part of the property. You pick a document that already belongs to the property, choose a target language, and the translation is produced page by page and kept with the property from then on.
How it works
The flow is deliberately short.
- Choose a document already attached to the property, or upload a new one — PDF, DOCX, JPG, JPEG or PNG.
- Choose the target language: English, Danish, Spanish, Swedish or French.
- The document is translated page by page, preserving the order and structure of the original.
- Read it on screen, page by page, alongside the original.
- Download it as a PDF whenever you need to send it on.
Translations are kept, not thrown away
Every completed translation stays in the property's translated-document library, grouped by the document it came from. A single registry extract can hold a Danish and an English version side by side, both available the moment you need them.
Downloading a translation does not consume or replace it. Come back a month later, after a dozen other documents have been added, and the library is exactly as you left it — which matters when a lawyer asks for the English version of a document you translated in the first week.
Built for the documents property buyers actually receive
The translator is designed around real property files: nota simple and registry extracts, architect and technical reports, energy performance certificates, planning and licence correspondence, community statutes and minutes, tax and utility documents, contracts and reservation agreements.
Scanned documents are handled too — where a page is an image rather than text, the text is recognised first and then translated. Multi-page files keep their page structure, so a reference to page seven still means page seven.
What is preserved
Names, reference numbers, cadastral references, registry identifiers, dates and amounts are carried across unchanged. Official terms that do not have a clean equivalent are handled carefully rather than replaced with an approximation that would mislead you: the point of a translated registry extract is to be usable evidence, not readable prose.
The original document is never altered. The translation is a derivative kept alongside it, so you can always go back to the source — and so can anyone advising you.
Translation is a step, not the destination
Once a document is readable, the rest of BuyerWingman can work with it. The same document is cross-checked against the others for contradictions, feeds the property's facts and risks, and can be questioned directly through Ask, with answers in your language and sources pointing back to the page. Property reports can be produced in a different language again, so you can read in Danish and send an English version to your lawyer.
The languages are independent: your interface language, your report language and the language you translate a document into are separate choices, because in a cross-border purchase they are rarely the same.
Where a sworn translation is still required
For court filings, notary procedures and certain official submissions, a sworn or certified translation by an authorised translator is required by law. The document translator does not replace that. What it does is let you understand the file immediately, decide what actually matters, and pay for certified translation only where it is genuinely needed.
