Starting points & templates

Starting points tune a new document to the kind of text it is. Each one also comes with a matching workflow you can run in one click.

Pick what you’re translating

First-time users see a “what are you translating today?” picker; returning users get it beside the dropzone as “Or pick a starting point.” Each card configures the document and clones a styleguide into your own library so you can edit it freely.

  • Fiction & literary — preserves voice and rhythm; can suggest alternatives for dialogue lines.
  • Landing page — adapts CTAs, keeps product names intact; can generate persuasion variants.
  • Client document — strict glossary discipline; can run a whole-document consistency check.
  • Help center article — clear voice, UI labels left intact; can check that labels weren’t translated.
  • Legal & policy — literal preservation; can flag ambiguous clauses for human review.
  • Start blank — just languages and a title.

Translate, then review

When a document still has untranslated text, the editor offers a Suggested workflow card — click through to open it in the builder, see the estimated cost, and run it. Once a template document is translated, a follow-up card walks you through a quick two-pass review (Proofread, then the template’s own check) in the one-at-a-time guided review.
