How it works

Input/output Back translation Aligning Annotations Adjustment

Input (Source text)

Translation (Target text)

Many apps use this layout, but it has a problem.

What does the translation really say? Has it kept the subtlety and nuance of your words? Or does it say something different?

We show you what the translation is actually saying, and give you the ability to tailor it if needed.

A lens into the translation

Re-translation seems off?

The translation is very likely off too

Re-translation is identical to the input?

The translation is probably* spot on too

Words are aligned with their translation

You can quickly see if key words in your text are being translated correctly

You can also make sure certain words weren't accidentally translated.

Typically proper nouns/names(of people, products, places, etc.)

Sometimes you might use a name of something, that is also a word. For example:

People(e.g. Holly, Gray) Companies(e.g. Apple, Shell) Locations(e.g. Turkey, Bath, England)

Often times these words should not be translated (though sometimes country/language names do have a different name in other languages)

- People(e.g. Holly, Gray) - Companies(e.g. Apple, Shell) - Locations(e.g. Turkey, Bath, England) Often times these words should not be translated (though sometimes country/language names do have a different name in other languages)

Apple

Manzana ✗ Apple ✔

Tip

This issue can often be minimized by using correct capitalization.

Is that Holly? would translate as a name(Holly -> Holly) Is that holly? would translate as the plant(holly -> acebo)

Annotations clarify what the translation says

Words with multiple meanings in English, will have annotations to specify how it's used in the translation. If you see no annotation, the words meanings are all covered in the translation. For "seal", you might see one of these:

seal

closure that stops leaks

seal

marine animal

seal

stamp/wax seal |+3
