What's different about the AI models on free and paid plans?

Paying users also get unlimited translations, plus access to the best AI models and more advanced LLMs, for stronger agreement and better translations. Free users get a set of standard AI models and basic LLMs, with the free-tier word limit. Both plans use SMART.
What is the dedicated project manager?

Every Pro plan includes a dedicated project manager, a real human contact available by email for questions, guidance, and support.
How many words can I translate for free?

The Free Plan lets you translate up to 60 words per translation, with no limit on how many translations you can do per day. For longer texts, you'll see a free preview of the translation. To unlock the full text beyond 60 words, unlock that single translation for $2.50 or upgrade to Pro for unlimited-length translations.
Why am I unable to translate more text?

This happens when your text goes over the Free Plan's 60-word limit for a single translation. To see the full result, unlock that translation for $2.50, or upgrade to Pro for unlimited-length translations.
What is SMART, and how does it work?

SMART compares the outputs of 22 AI models and automatically selects the version the majority agree on, rather than trusting any single model's result. This cuts translation error risk by up to 90% compared to using one AI model alone.
How does MachineTranslation.com ensure translation accuracy?

Translation quality can vary even among human translators. MachineTranslation.com improves reliability by comparing outputs from multiple AI models, then scoring and ranking them to surface the strongest result for your content. For high-stakes or client-facing text, Human Verification adds a professional review on top.
How are quality scores calculated?

Each translation is evaluated by an algorithm that considers completeness, fluency, and accuracy, producing a numerical quality score for every output. This makes it easy to identify the most reliable translation among the options shown.
How does MachineTranslation.com select which AI models to include?

AI models are selected based on reliability, popularity, language-pair performance, and platform compatibility. The lineup can change as new models become available.
How does MachineTranslation.com aggregate multiple AI models?

The platform aggregates translations from leading AI models and large language models, including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and others. By default, a curated set of top-performing models is used, and you can customize your selection.
How does MachineTranslation.com compare to human translation?

AI translation delivers speed and scale: up to 85% of outputs reach professional-quality standard and are ready for immediate use with little or no editing. Human translators remain essential for nuance, tone, and highly specialized or brand-sensitive content. For these cases, Human Verification combines AI speed with expert human judgment.
Why should I choose MachineTranslation.com over hiring a human translator?

MachineTranslation.com is the better fit when speed, volume, and cost matter. SMART compares outputs from 22 AI models and returns the version most agree on, with side-by-side comparisons and quality scores to make review fast. The Free Plan requires no payment, and Pro supports unlimited translations for a low monthly fee, often more cost-effective than per-project human translation for high-volume work.
What if I'm not satisfied with the translation output?

For highly technical or stylistically sensitive content, consider machine translation post-editing (MTPE): a human translator refines the AI output to match your exact tone and format. MachineTranslation.com also offers Human Verification for cases requiring higher accuracy. Contact the team to arrange human translation.
What file types and sizes are supported?

Uploads up to 70MB are supported, in PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, TXT, CSV, JPG, PNG, GIF, BMP, SRT, HTML, HTM, XML, JSON, RTF, and ODT formats. Text is automatically extracted from all supported file types.
Can MachineTranslation.com translate documents automatically?

Yes. Upload a file, document, or image for automatic text extraction and translation. For Word files and open PDFs, the translated document keeps its original layout.
Will my document keep its original layout after translation?

Yes. Layout and formatting are preserved for Word files and open PDFs, including tables, images, and headers, so the translated document is ready to use without manual reformatting. Pro subscribers can download formatted files without usage limits; Free Plan users may need to upgrade or make a one-time payment to download formatted files.
Does MachineTranslation.com offer professional document formatting (DTP)?

Yes. Professional formatting services are available to ensure translated documents retain their original layout, handled by dedicated specialists.
