Every document moves through a defined lifecycle.
- Draft — while your team is working on it.
- Published — the moment it ships.
- Superseded — replace by newer version.
- Withdrawn — when it's retired.
Everyone always knows what state every document is in.
What Pelicopy does, and how
Pelicopy is the platform for creating, translating, and publishing multilingual product documents — Declarations of Performance and any other structured document your markets require.
Build templates
Design your document layout once. Use it for every document of that type.
Visual template editor
Build documents the way you build slides — type, format, drop in tables and images. Add your logo, set the page size, define which fields will be filled in per document. Nothing to learn beyond a basic word processor.
Live PDF preview
Preview your template PDF straight from the editor. What you see is exactly what you will get.
Smart tables
Tables that span multiple pages break at the right place automatically, with the header row repeated at the top of each new page. Readers never lose context mid-table.
Cover page with language index
Each template can include a cover page that lists every language in the document. One front door for the entire multilingual PDF.
Bookmark navigation — one click to your language
Click any language in the cover index and the PDF jumps straight to that section. Multilingual without the friction.
Full template version history
Every change to your template is preserved. See exactly how your document has evolved.
Manage your documents
Keep every document's content, translations, and revisions in one place.
Create documents from your templates
Once a template is published, create as many documents as you need from it. Each new document inherits the layout, the fields, and the pre-loaded translations — so you start from scratch only once.
A clear lifecycle: draft → published → superseded → withdrawn
Releasing a revision — approved translations carry forward
When you publish a new revision, every approved translation is inherited automatically. Only the fields you actually updated are marked for re-translation. Your team never translates the same content twice.
Duplicate documents in one click
Start on the foundation you already have. Duplicate any document — and all of its approved translations — to launch a new variant in minutes. Perfect for product families that share most of their content.
Translate to every EU language
From "untranslated" to "shipped" without losing track.
25 supported languages — and any other you need
All 24 official EU languages plus Norwegian, ready out of the box. Need additional languages? They can be enabled on request.

DeepL machine translation in one click
Translate every translatable field into every active language with a single click. Translations land as 'machine translated', ready for your team's review and approval. Speed of AI, confidence of human translation.
Reusable and document-specific texts
Some text repeats across every document — your company address, section headers or standard references. Other text is unique per document. Pelicopy handles both: deploy a reusable phrase once and reuse it infinite times.
Reusable text
Translatable fields that stay the same across every document of a given template — your company name, your address, section headers. Set them once at template level and they flow into every document automatically.
Document-specific text
Translatable fields that are unique to each document — product names, technical performance values, descriptions. Filled in per document, translated per document.
Pick your source language per document
Choose the language you write in first for each document. Every other language flows from there.
Field-level translation status
Every translatable field has its own status: Untranslated → Draft / Machine Translated → Approved → Stale. You always know what's done, what's pending, and what needs review — without scrolling through the document.
Untranslated → Draft / Machine Translated → Approved → Stale
Automatic stale detection
When source text changes, every approved translation that depended on it is marked stale and flagged for review. An outdated translation will never slip into a published PDF.
1,650+ official EU translations, pre-loaded
Every account ships with the standard regulatory headings from CPR 305/2011 (Annex III) and the new CPR 2024/3110 (Annex V), pre-translated into all 24 EU languages. That's over 1,650 translations across 69 fields, ready on day one.

BG ДЕКЛАРАЦИЯ ЗА ЕКСПЛОАТАЦИОННИ ПОКАЗАТЕЛИ Publish & prove compliance
One PDF. Every language. With the controls compliance teams expect.
Multi-language PDF output
Generate a single, lightweight PDF containing every approved language. One file to distribute, archive, or hand to a customer — instead of 24 separate documents.
All 25 languages still fit comfortably under half a megabyte — small enough to email, easy to archive.
Approval gate
A language can only appear in the published PDF if every translatable field in that language has been approved. No half-translated documents. No drafts shipped by accident.
Three roles, one workflow
Everyone has exactly the access they need — nothing more, nothing less.
Admin
Full access. Manages the account, configures languages, manages users.
Master User
Owns templates and documents, manages translations for assigned languages.
Translator
Reviews and approves translations for assigned languages only.
