Musely Research Paper Translator is an academic translation tool that converts full-length research articles across 136 languages while preserving citations, LaTeX equations, and discipline-specific terminology. Unlike general translators that cap input at 5,000 characters, Musely accepts manuscripts up to 100,000 words in a single pass. It routes each paragraph through a field classifier so STEM, medical, and humanities papers use the correct glossary. Musely keeps DOI links, figure numbers, and reference IDs unchanged, scoring 99.1% terminology fidelity on the FLORES-200 benchmark across 12,847 user-rated submissions.

Who uses Musely Research Paper Translator
Build a multilingual literature review
I pull Chinese, Korean, and Russian papers into my literature review every week. Musely keeps the citations clean so I can drop them straight into Zotero.
Triage submissions in their native language
Authors send manuscripts in Spanish, Japanese, or Arabic. Musely gives my editorial board a faithful English version within two minutes per paper.
Share findings with international collaborators
My lab spans Berlin, Tokyo, and Boston. Musely turns our weekly preprints into three language versions before the Monday standup.
Localize accepted papers for proceedings
We localized 312 accepted papers into English with Musely for last year's IEEE proceedings. The terminology checks saved our copy editors weeks.
Translate clinical study summaries
Musely handles drug names, MeSH terms, and statistical notation correctly, which lets me share study summaries with my Japanese co-authors quickly.
Expand multilingual access for students
International students at our library now read assigned papers in their first language. Musely processes a 20,000-word chapter in roughly three minutes.
