Traxlate

Guide

How it works, and how to get the most from it.

Traxlate runs on your machine. That has real consequences — a download, some disk space, a first run that takes a moment — and these pages are about being straight with you on all of them, then showing you what the tools can do.

Getting started

  • Start here

    What Traxlate is, what it installs, and the one thing to do before your first translation.

  • Language packs

    What the pack is, how big it is, where it lives on each platform, and how to remove or reinstall it.

  • How private is it, exactly

    What runs on your device, what touches our servers, and the two cases where something leaves — both by your choice.

  • Browser, desktop and phone

    The same engine on every platform, and what each one carries — so you can pick the right one and know what to expect from it.

The tools

  • Translate text

    The main tool — typing, pasting, speaking, picking languages, reading the status line, and what the notes under a sentence mean.

  • Documents

    Word, PowerPoint, spreadsheets, ebooks and text files — translated on your device with their formatting, then reviewed and exported.

  • PDF

    Translate a PDF without uploading it — text-layer PDFs and scans, page by page, exported as a PDF again.

  • Pictures and camera

    Read the text in a photo or through the camera and translate it, on your device — signs, menus, screenshots, labels.

  • Subtitles and dubbing

    Subtitles from your own video, translated and kept in time, and a dubbed audio track in another language — all on your device.

  • Many files at once — the work queue

    Drop any number of pictures, PDFs, documents and texts; they translate in order on your device, each row telling you where it is.

  • Translating inside Microsoft Word

    A Traxlate tab in Word that translates a selection or a whole document in place, keeping your formatting — and without the text leaving your machine.

Getting more out of it

  • Glossary, dictionaries and memory

    Make Traxlate use your terms — your glossary is enforced, topic dictionaries suggest, and the memory reuses what you already translated.

  • The Desk

    Review a translated document sentence by sentence, edit it, and export the corrected file — the professional's loop, on your device.

  • History and Settings

    Where your past translations live, what Settings controls, and what "clear" actually removes.

  • Reviewing a translation

    Find and replace inside a document, apply one correction everywhere it belongs, see what you changed, and print it four ways — the pass before you deliver.

  • Working with a team

    Share a glossary and a translation memory with colleagues — encrypted on your device, joined by a link, and nothing published until you press Share.

Account

  • Free, Pro, and what you pay for

    Translation is free on every platform, within an allowance. Pro adds encrypted sync, the local API at full speed and hosted API keys, across 2 devices.
