- Every format: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF, scans and photos (OCR), TXT, CSV and SDL Trados packages
- Layout kept: fonts, tables, slides and tags come back exactly where they were
- Your terminology: translation memory and termbase are applied, 100% matches are free
- $0.005 per word in 118 languages — the first 100 words are free, no card needed

SDL Trados package translator
Open an SDLPPX, SDLRPX or SDLXLIFF in a full segment editor that works the way Studio does — right in your browser.
- Inline tags (x, g, bx, ex) preserved exactly — tagged segments are translated with the tags in place
- Translation memory lookup and concordance search, with exact matches carried over at no cost
- Your termbase is passed to the AI for each segment
- Trados tracked changes shown like Studio: deletions struck through, insertions underlined
- Formatting marks for spaces, non-breaking spaces and tabs
- Segment statuses (Translated, Approved, Locked, Draft) respected
- Export sdlrpx or sdlxliff ready for Trados Studio
Document translator
Upload an Office file, a PDF or plain text and download it translated — ready to open and use straight away.
- Format preview before you pay: see the layout your translation will land in
- Word, Excel and PowerPoint look exactly as before: fonts, tables, slides and speaker notes intact
- Excel formulas, numbers and dates are never touched
- PDFs keep their layout — scanned PDFs and photos (JPG, PNG, TIFF) too, thanks to built-in text recognition (OCR)
- Source language detected automatically
- Reference website, parallel text and glossary for consistent terminology
- Optional AI proofreading pass, side-by-side preview before download
Translation QA for SDL Trados, Word and PDF — check, search and fix online
Upload a return package (SDLRPX), project package (SDLPPX), SDLXLIFF files or a Word or PDF translation together with your translation memory and termbase and get a full quality report in seconds. Then search every segment, correct the translation right in the report and download the corrected file — a step classic QA tools like Xbench leave to your CAT tool. Every check is a fixed rule; your files are never sent to AI.
What it checks
- Punctuation: source and target must end the same way
- Tag errors: missing, extra or mis-nested tags
- Termbase: forbidden and approved terms
- Spelling in more than 50 languages (Hunspell)
- Inconsistency: same source, different translations — differences highlighted
- Non-breaking spaces, numbers, placeholders, URLs and double spaces
- Word and PDF translations too: a bilingual Word file, or the original and its translation as two files — scans are read with OCR and paragraphs aligned automatically
Search, edit and export
- Search source and target together: “source has X, target does not have Y”, regex, tags, status
- Edit the target inside the report — tags protected, saved and approved in the SDLXLIFF
- Apply the most used translation to every inconsistent segment in one click
- Click a segment number to see it in context with the segments around it
- Download the corrected SDLXLIFF, SDLRPX return package or Word file
- Tracked changes handled correctly — deleted text never causes false errors

Common questions
More in the full FAQ.
Does this work with SDL Trados Studio projects?
Yes — upload an sdlppx, sdlrpx, or sdlxliff and translate it in a full browser-based segment editor, then export a return package Studio accepts without a warning.
Will my Word/Excel/PowerPoint formatting survive?
Yes for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint — they're edited in place, so fonts, tables, and slide layouts come back untouched. PDFs keep their layout and images, and scanned PDFs and photos are read with OCR and translated in the same layout.
Can I check a translation I already have?
Yes — with the free QA Checker: SDL Trados files, bilingual Word files, or an original with its translation as Word, PDF or scans. Fix errors right in the report and download the corrected file.
Can I translate or review it myself?
Yes — choose “Translate it yourself” to work in the free online editor, or click “Review in editor” after an AI translation. Download the file in its original format with the layout kept.
What will my file cost?
You see it right away: when you drop a file, the word count and estimated price at $0.005 per word appear with the preview — before anything is billed.
Is my data used to train AI models?
No. Files are processed for your session only and deleted automatically after 48 hours.
