How does a house style travel with you?
A glossary handles terms. A styleguide handles the rest: tone, register, sentence rhythm, how to treat idioms, and when to drop the formality. Together they turn AI output into something you can deliver.
Generate from a sample
Paste a page you’ve already translated well. Transept reads it and proposes an editable styleguide covering tone, voice, rules, and conventions.
Edit, version, reuse
Refine the rules and save a new version. Reuse the same guide across documents, or duplicate it for each client so every project has its own.
Applied on every run
Every pass that touches the document reads the styleguide: translation, regeneration, polish, and end-to-end runs. “Make it sound more X” stops being a lottery.
Checked by Smart Proofread
After translation, Smart Proofread re-reads the text against the styleguide and flags drift: a sentence that breaks the register, a paragraph that loses the voice.
Glossaries handle terms. Styleguides handle everything else: tone, register, rhythm, idioms, formality, and the conventions that separate a “translated” document from a “well-translated” one. A literary translator’s styleguide covers how to handle dialogue tags and which idioms to keep word for word. A marketing team’s styleguide sets the brand voice: punchy or thoughtful, formal or casual, playful in small doses. A legal team’s styleguide is the opposite: keep the sentence structure, don’t paraphrase, and flag ambiguity instead of guessing. Transept lets you build, version, and reuse styleguides across documents and projects. Translate the same source under two different styleguides and you get two different deliverables.
Where is voice the deliverable?
Literary translation
Preserving rhythm, idiom, and the author’s particular way of leaning into a sentence.
Brand & marketing
A styleguide for each brand (Notion-warm or Apple-cool) that holds up across twelve languages and a dozen pieces of campaign content.
Newsletters & long-form
Your essayist voice in another language. Not a different writer; you, translated.
4× cheaper model, matched
Give a model the decisions behind past translations, not just their final wording, and it stops guessing. With enough of that context, a model costing a quarter as much matched a premium one on our own benchmarks.

FAQ
- A styleguide holds tone (formal, casual, literary), register, preferred sentence length, how to handle idioms, regional conventions, formatting rules, and things to avoid: anything you’d write down for a human translator.
- Paste in a translation you’re happy with, and Transept proposes a styleguide to match. Review it, edit it, and save.
- They’re meant to work together. The glossary pins specific words, the styleguide shapes everything else, and both apply to every translation.
- Each save creates a new version of the styleguide. You can go back to an earlier version, pin a document to a specific one, or duplicate the guide as the start of a new one.
- In multilingual content management, the styleguide is the piece that keeps the voice consistent across languages and contributors. Instead of every translator (or every model run) reading “on-brand” differently, the styleguide sets tone, register, and conventions once and applies them to every translation. Style-compliant multilingual content becomes the default output instead of something you chase in review. Pair it with a glossary, and both the terminology and the voice hold across your whole library.
- A styleguide belongs to your account, your team, or a specific project, depending on how you set it up. A team styleguide applies to everyone’s translations in the team workspace.
- Smart Proofread checks the translated document against the active styleguide and flags drift: register slips, shifts in tone, changes in sentence rhythm. So the styleguide guides the QA pass as well as the translation.
