### Implementation notes

Runs with local model weights on this website’s server. No external AI API is used. Review the result for errors. Translates extracted text. Original document layout is not preserved.

### Inputs and settings

No free-text input is required. Use the file inputs and/or settings below.

Accepted browser files: `.pdf,.docx,.txt`. Choose one file.

Browser file-input limit: 20971520 bytes in total. HTTP limits can differ.

| Setting | Meaning | Control type | Default | Constraints |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `language` | Translate to | select | "English" | Allowed: English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese |

### HTTP contract

API calls process supplied data on the server. The website origin is `https://happytails.ai`. Server API hosting is not connected on the public website yet. Use your local server origin to test these requests.

          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
```

#### Error and retry handling

Failures return a non-200 status and `error.code` plus `error.message`. Correct invalid input before retrying; retry server-busy responses with bounded backoff. Returned files contain Base64 data, not persistent download URLs. Decode and inspect the output before treating conversion as successful. See the shared API guide for the complete status and timeout rules.

### Browser-agent workflow

1. Open the human page in a browser that supports WebMCP.
2. Discover the interface exposed by that page; use its actual schema.
3. Select files on the page first when the tool requires files.
4. Call `run_current_tool` with valid input and settings.
5. Inspect the returned result or error and the displayed output. Retrieve files from the displayed download links.

Calls do not automatically copy or download results. Browser permissions still apply. Interface availability alone is not proof of successful execution.

### Planning specification

Translate extracted text with side-by-side original and translated sections; preserve headings where feasible; disclose formatting loss instead of promising perfect document reconstruction.

This describes intended requirements. Use the implementation notes, interface schema and observed output to determine current support.
