How does a batch run in one go?
Upload the document, pick the target languages, and start the run. Every language uses the same glossary, styleguide, and model, so the whole set reads as if one translator did it.
Upload the document
Upload a DOCX, EPUB, Markdown, HTML, or text file, import a page from Notion or a file from Google Drive, or paste the text. Pick every target language at setup and the document is created in each.
Pick the targets
One language, or several at once: English into German, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, and Polish in a single run, with one progress card for all of them. The mode you pick (Fast, Standard, or Pro) applies to the whole run.
Shared context across every language
The glossary and styleguide you’ve set apply to every block in every language, so character names, product terms, and brand voice stay the same from the first page to the last. Keep related documents in a project and each new one starts with the same set.
Proofread every language
Run Smart Proofread on all language versions at once, or add it as a step after the translation. It fixes the blocks that need it in each language, and you review the changes before you ship.
Translating one paragraph is a task. Translating a whole manual into eight languages is a project, and projects are where AI translation tools usually fall apart. The term settled on page one has drifted by page thirty. Each language ends up with its own version of the voice. The file comes back without the formatting you started with. Batch translation in Transept runs the whole document as one job with shared context: one glossary and one styleguide behind every block and every language, one progress card with a lane per language, and a proofread step in each language if you add one. A project keeps the same glossary and styleguide on the next document too.
When does batch translation change the math?
Product launches
The announcement, the landing page, and the release notes, each into ten languages in one run, with the same terms in every language.
Knowledge-base localization
Take a help center into a new market article by article, with one glossary and styleguide on the project so every article uses the same terms.
Quarterly content sync
Update a report or a guide, say once a quarter, and re-run only what changed: the blocks whose source moved are translated again in every language, and the rest stay as they are.
8 hours → 50 minutes
One 40,000-word document, translated by several agents at once, used to take eight hours. We got the agents to sync their memory mid-run, so a term settled in chapter 2 still holds in chapter 40. It now finishes in fifty minutes.

Simple pricing
Every plan comes with monthly credits. You spend them only on AI work, at the price each action shows before you click. No sales call and no contract: start free and add a credit pack whenever you need more.
One credit covers one source word in Standard mode. Pro mode uses a more capable model and costs 3 credits per source word. Chinese and Japanese source text is counted per character. Manual edits, exports, comments and translation memory are free: you spend credits only when AI translates, rewrites or checks your text, or reads a document to build a glossary or styleguide. Every paid action shows its price on the button before you click. See the price list.

Prices are in euros and exclude VAT. If VAT applies to your purchase, checkout shows it before you pay, and a business with a valid EU VAT ID pays the net price under reverse charge. You can buy credit packs on any plan, including Free: 30,000 credits for €19, 100,000 for €55 or 300,000 for €149. Pack credits never expire. Creating a team and inviting people is free. To share credits, add two or more seats: each seat adds its plan’s monthly credits to the team’s pool, all on one invoice. Cancel anytime and keep your plan until the end of the period you’ve paid for. We give refunds for faults on our side that we can’t fix and for billing mistakes, and EU consumers can withdraw within 14 days and get back the unused part.
FAQ
- Batch translation means translating a whole document, into one language or many, in one run instead of block by block. You pick the scope (a selection, a page, or the whole document) and the target languages, and every block is translated with the same glossary, styleguide, and model. A document going into six languages is one run and one progress card instead of six separate jobs.
- A run works on one document and all its language versions. For several documents, start a run on each: a few run at the same time and the rest wait their turn. Keep them in one project and every document starts with the same glossary and styleguide.
- A batch costs source words × target languages × the mode’s rate. Fast and Standard cost 1 credit per source word per language, and Pro costs 3. You see the estimate before the run starts.
- Yes. Stop the run from its progress card, which stops every language at once. Blocks that already finished stay translated, you’re charged only for completed work, and the next run picks up at the first untranslated block.
- The other languages keep going, because each language runs as its own lane, and work that fails is never charged. Once the problem is fixed, run that language again from its own document.
- There is no length limit, and one run covers up to 20 languages. Batch translation works on every plan, within your monthly credit balance. For higher-volume production work, a paid plan or a credit pack covers the extra.
- A whole document of any length, into up to 20 languages. In practice the limit is your credit balance: if a run costs more than you have, Run what fits translates the opening part your credits cover, and the next run picks up where it stopped.
- The new language version starts untranslated and uses the same glossary and styleguide. Tick Translate immediately when you add it, or translate it from its own editor; nothing runs or bills until you confirm.
- Yes. Choose All languages when you run a translation or a workflow, and Transept runs it once for each language version, a few languages at a time. If the workflow includes a proofread, it runs in each language too.
- Credits = source words × number of target languages × mode multiplier. The estimate shows the credit cost before you start. If a burst of work goes beyond your monthly plan, a credit pack covers it without changing your plan.
- Yes. One progress card tracks the whole run, with a lane per language that moves from queued to done; click a lane to open that language’s document. You get a notification as each language finishes, and a summary at the end that says how many languages have findings waiting for review.
