Step 2: Upload your files (65+ file formats including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, InDesign, HTML, JSON, and more)
Step 3: Specify subject matter (general, legal, technical, marketing, etc.)
Step 4: Click “Create Project”

That’s it. Easy peasy. The platform handles all technical complexities behind the scenes.

4. Pre-Translated Content

The magic starts here. Taia segments and pre-translates your content using advanced AI models. But that’s not all—it also learns from your previous projects via Translation Memory.

How it works:

• AI translates all content segment-by-segment
• Translation Memory matches are automatically applied (100% matches are free or deeply discounted)
• Platform highlights fuzzy matches (75-99% similarity) for quick review
• Your glossary terms are automatically applied (consistent terminology)

It’s like having a language-savvy assistant that remembers everything you’ve translated before and applies it instantly.

5. Effortless Editing

You’re in control. Review and edit translations segment by segment in the built-in CAT tool interface:

• Side-by-side view: Source text on left, target translation on right
• Segment-by-segment editing: Jump to any sentence or paragraph instantly
• Real-time suggestions: Platform shows Translation Memory matches and glossary terms as you edit
• Formatting preservation: Tags and formatting visible inline (you can’t break them)
• Quality checks: Built-in spell check, consistency checks, tag validation

Correct machine translations, ensure proper formatting, and stay consistent with the original text. Your content, your way.

6. Tag Integrity

Don’t worry about formatting mishaps. Taia’s AI Translator preserves your file’s formatting by placing tags exactly as they appear in the original text:

• Bold, italic, underline preserved
• Links and URLs maintained
• Variables and placeholders protected (e.g., {user_name}, %s)
• Line breaks and spacing intact

Your final file will mirror the original, down to the last detail—no manual reformatting required.

7. No Copy-Paste Hassles

Bid farewell to manual copy-pasting between different tools:

• Upload once, download translated file (no copying between Word, Google Translate, CAT tools)
• Automatic file export in original format (Word stays Word, Excel stays Excel)
• Translation Memory builds automatically (no manual database management)

Taia handles all the technical details, giving you more time for content quality instead of file wrangling.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Taia’s AI Translator and how does it differ from Google Translate or DeepL?

Taia’s AI Translator is a professional self-service translation platform combining AI-powered pre-translation with a built-in CAT (Computer-Assisted Translation) tool for editing and quality control. Key differences from Google Translate or DeepL: Enterprise file format support - Taia handles 65+ file types (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, InDesign, HTML, XML, JSON, etc.) with automatic formatting preservation. Google Translate and DeepL handle plain text or basic file uploads but often break formatting, require copy-pasting, and can’t handle complex documents. Translation Memory integration - Every translation builds your Translation Memory automatically. Future translations of similar content are 30-60% cheaper because the platform reuses previous translations (100% matches are free or deeply discounted). Google Translate and DeepL have no memory—you pay full price every time, even for repeated content. Glossary management - Upload company-specific terminology in glossaries, and Taia automatically applies approved terms across all translations. Ensures brand consistency (product names, technical terms, legal phrases translated identically every time). Google Translate and DeepL offer some custom glossary features but no enterprise-grade term management or automatic application. Built-in CAT tool - Taia includes a professional editing interface for reviewing and correcting AI translations segment-by-segment. Side-by-side source/target view, real-time Translation Memory suggestions, tag protection (can’t break formatting), quality checks (spell check, consistency validation). Google Translate and DeepL provide translated output only—no editing interface, manual copy-paste required for corrections. Workflow integration - Taia integrates into translation workflows with project management, team collaboration, and delivery tracking. Upload file → AI pre-translates → Edit in CAT tool → Download final file (formatting intact). Google Translate/DeepL are standalone tools—no workflow, project tracking, or team features. Security and compliance - Taia is GDPR-compliant with enterprise data security (encrypted storage, access controls, data processing agreements). Google Translate stores translations for model training (privacy concerns for confidential content). DeepL offers privacy-focused translation but lacks full workflow tooling. When to use each: Google Translate/DeepL: Quick translations for understanding content (emails, news articles), Personal use or non-confidential content, Plain text without complex formatting. Taia’s AI Translator: Business translation workflows (marketing, documentation, legal, product content), Files with complex formatting (Word docs, PowerPoint, InDesign, HTML), Repeated content (build Translation Memory for cost savings over time), Team collaboration and project management, Confidential or proprietary content requiring data security. Bottom line: Google Translate and DeepL are consumer AI translation tools (fast but limited). Taia’s AI Translator is an enterprise translation platform—AI pre-translation + professional editing tools + Translation Memory + workflow management in one system.

How does Translation Memory work in Taia’s AI Translator and how much can I save?

Translation Memory (TM) is your secret weapon for cost savings and consistency—and it’s built into Taia’s AI Translator automatically: What is Translation Memory? A database of all your previous translations, stored segment-by-segment (sentence or paragraph level). When you translate new content, Taia automatically searches your Translation Memory for matches. If it finds exact or similar matches, it reuses them instead of re-translating from scratch. Result: Faster translations, lower costs, perfect consistency. How Translation Memory saves you money: 100% matches (exact) - Sentence appears exactly as previously translated (no changes), Cost: Free or 10-20% of full rate (depending on your plan), Example: Product description “Ships within 24 hours” translated before → reused automatically at no cost. 75-99% fuzzy matches (similar) - Sentence similar to previous translation with minor differences, Taia pre-fills previous translation, you edit the small changes (takes seconds vs. minutes), Cost: 30-60% discount off full rate, Example: “Ships within 24 hours” previously translated, new text “Ships within 48 hours” → 95% match, just edit “24” to “48” (30% discount). New segments (0-74% match) - No similar translation found in Translation Memory, AI translates from scratch, you edit as needed, Cost: Full translation rate, These segments then added to Translation Memory for future reuse. Real-world savings examples: Example 1: Monthly blog posts (recurring topics) - Month 1: Translate 2000-word blog post about “email marketing tips” → Full cost: $100 → Builds TM with 2000 words, Month 2: Translate 2000-word blog post about “email marketing strategies” → 40% of content matches previous post (common phrases, standard intro/conclusion) → Savings: $40 (only pay $60), Month 3+: Each subsequent blog reuses more TM → Average savings: 30-50% per post. Example 2: SaaS product documentation - Version 1.0 documentation: 50,000 words → Full cost: $2500 → Builds comprehensive TM, Version 1.1 update: 55,000 words (added 5000 new words, rest unchanged) → 90% match rate (50,000 words reused from TM) → Cost: $500 (for 5000 new words) instead of $2750 → Savings: $2250 (82% reduction). Example 3: Marketing website localization - Initial website: 10,000 words in 5 languages → Cost per language: $500 → Total: $2500 → Builds TM for each language pair, Monthly website updates: 500 new words + 9500 unchanged → Per language: $25 (new words only) → Monthly cost: $125 (vs. $2500 initial) → Ongoing savings: 95%. How Translation Memory builds over time: Month 1-3: Building your Translation Memory database → Savings: 10-20% (limited matches) → Every translation adds to TM. Month 4-6: TM database growing → Savings: 30-40% (recurring phrases, standard terminology) → Consistency improving. Month 7-12: Mature Translation Memory → Savings: 50-70% on recurring content types (documentation, marketing, product descriptions) → High consistency across all content. Year 2+: Comprehensive TM covering most content → Savings: 60-80% on updates and recurring content → Near-perfect terminology consistency. Best practices to maximize TM savings: Consistency in source content - Use same phrases for same concepts (“Click here” not “Click here” / “Press here” / “Select here”), Template common sections (intros, CTAs, disclaimers), Standardize terminology in source content (before translation). Organize by content type - Separate TMs for different content: Product documentation TM, Marketing TM, Legal TM, Support TM → Prevents cross-contamination (legal terms don’t appear in marketing content). Upload previous translations - Already have translations? Import them into Taia’s Translation Memory (we support TMX file format), Instantly leverage past work (even from other tools). Regular translation cadence - Translate regularly (weekly/monthly) rather than sporadically → TM builds faster, savings compound sooner. Translation Memory is included free - No additional cost for Translation Memory (included in all Taia plans), Unlimited storage (no limits on TM size), Shared across your team (everyone benefits from same TM). ROI timeline: Typical customer sees ROI within 3-6 months (TM savings offset initial translation investment), Year 2 onwards: 50-70% cost reduction on average compared to translating without TM. With Taia’s AI Translator and integrated Translation Memory, you’re not just translating—you’re building a strategic asset that makes every future translation faster, cheaper, and more consistent.
