Your first translation
New to Transept? Here’s the whole loop, start to finish. It takes a couple of minutes, and the Free plan covers it with no card.
Four steps
On the dashboard, first-time users see a “what are you translating today?” picker — pick a starting point (Fiction, Landing page, Client document, Help article, Legal, or blank) and it sets up the document with sensible defaults for that kind of text.
- Bring your work in. Upload a DOCX, PDF, Markdown, or TXT file, paste raw text, or import from Notion or Google Drive. It’s parsed into blocks for you.
- Pick your languages. Choose a source and one or more targets. The mode (Fast / Standard / Premium) is set per document and changeable per block.
- Translate. Hit Translate and watch blocks land one by one. Then refine — edit a sentence, regenerate with a direction, or run a proofread pass.
- Export. Send it back out as Word, Markdown, Notion, or a Google Doc — formatting preserved.
What it costs
Translation spends credits — 1 per source word in Fast or Standard mode, 3 in Premium. A 2,000-word document is 2,000 credits in Standard. Editing, regenerating a sentence you’re not happy with, leaving comments, and exporting are all free. The Free plan gives you 1,500 credits a month to start.
