Try it on your own file before paying
A free trial translation of part of your XLIFF file is available on the home page: check quality, terminology and how your CAT tool imports the result.
If the trial limit (~3000 characters) is not enough, get a free demo code from our Telegram or MAX bot: it is issued instantly, one per person.
Pricing: about $0.02 per 1,000 characters for any document, no subscription. Character packages for 1, 3 and 6 months.
AI draft right inside your CAT tool
No more copying text into a chatbot and back. AI translates the segments with the document subject in mind, while you keep working in your usual environment: terminology checks, QA and segment confirmation stay in Trados, memoQ, Smartcat or MateCat.
AI translation is marked as a draft (needs review), so your CAT tool shows right away what to proofread; phrases from your translation memory are marked as translated. CAT tool machine translation drafts (segments in the “new” or “draft” state) are translated again by default — you can untick this. Your confirmed segments and our own drafts from a previous translation are not translated and not billed. Phrases you tick as checked in the translation editor become “translated” when you rebuild the file.
How to translate XLIFF
- Export the bilingual file from your CAT tool (Trados: the .sdlxliff from the project folder; memoQ: bilingual export to .mqxliff or XLIFF; Smartcat or MateCat: Download → XLIFF).
- Upload it to the translator and set the languages and subject.
- Optionally add a glossary and your TMX translation memory.
- Download the result and import it back into the project.
Glossary and translation memory
Upload a glossary (XLSX, DOCX or TXT) to keep terms consistent across the project. A TMX memory from Trados, memoQ or Smartcat fills exact matches without AI — they are not billed — and similar matches (75%+) are used by the model as a starting point.
File structure stays intact
The service changes only the target text of segments and their status. The embedded source document, comments and CAT metadata stay as they were, so the file imports back without errors.
About XLIFF translation
Can I upload a Trados project package (.sdlppx)?
No, upload the individual .sdlxliff files from the package: open it in Trados or unpack it as a ZIP archive.
What if the AI breaks a tag?
That segment is not written and stays as it was, for you to translate manually. The number of skipped segments is shown in the translation log.
Do I pay for already translated segments?
No. Confirmed, translated and locked segments are not included in the price.
Does XLIFF from Smartcat and MateCat work?
Yes, standard XLIFF 1.2 and 2.0 exported by Smartcat, MateCat, OmegaT and other CAT tools are supported.
