v1.9.15 - November 30, 2025
AI-powered companion tool for translators. Work with ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini simultaneously. Built by translators, for translators and writers.
The ultimate companion tool for translators and writers
Supervertaler began as a simple tool: export your bilingual document from memoQ, manually copy the source column into a text file, let Supervertaler translate it using AI with custom prompts, then paste it back and reimport into memoQ.
It worked, but it was manual. Tedious. Limited.
The new Supervertaler is now the ultimate companion tool—working seamlessly alongside your CAT tool with specialized features:
Here's what no other translation tool currently offers:
2-Layer Prompt Architecture + AI Assistant
Not only can you create, store, and manage translation prompts—Supervertaler includes an AI Assistant with conversational interface that analyzes your documents and helps generate custom prompts. Plus specialized modules like PDF Rescue (AI OCR), TMX Editor, Supercleaner, and Superlookup.
Imagine this conversation:
That's the future. And it's almost here.
Simple, Powerful, and Intuitive Translation Control
Simplified from 4-layer to a more intuitive 2-layer system + AI Assistant
Infrastructure - Always Applied
Core infrastructure prompts that always run. Contains critical instructions for:
Optional - Unified Domain, Project & Style
Simplified and more intuitive! Previously split across 3 layers (Domain, Project, Style Guides), now unified into one flexible custom prompt layer. Combine:
Conversational Interface - NEW in v1.3.0!
Chat with your AI Assistant! Modern conversational interface with beautiful chat bubbles, markdown formatting, and intelligent document analysis. ✨ NEW in v1.3.1: Persistent file attachments!
The 2-Layer Prompt Architecture works seamlessly with Supervertaler's multi-context system. When you translate, the AI receives:
Every sentence translated with awareness of the entire document
System infrastructure + custom prompts combined intelligently
Conversational interface for document analysis and prompt generation
Visual context for technical documents (GPT-4 Vision, Claude, Gemini)
Fuzzy matching with your existing translations
Glossary integration for consistency
Most translation tools send simple, static prompts to AI. Supervertaler sends intelligent, layered instructions that adapt to:
🎯 Result: More accurate, context-aware translations that require less post-editing.

Honest, transparent information about how your data is handled
Supervertaler runs on YOUR computer. There is no Supervertaler company server. Your documents, translation memory, and glossaries never leave your machine unless you choose to send them to an AI provider for translation.
Reality: When you click "Translate," the text you select is sent to the LLM provider's servers (OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google). This is how AI translation works—the AI models run on their infrastructure. Supervertaler does NOT process translations locally.
Important: This means your document content temporarily reaches these providers' systems.
All providers offer data processing agreements (DPAs) and enterprise plans with enhanced privacy.
Recommended approach:
Most enterprise plans explicitly prohibit data use beyond your specific requests.
Supervertaler is fully open source on GitHub. You can audit the code yourself to verify exactly how your data is handled. No hidden data collection, no telemetry, no analytics—just the code you can review.
Designed with real translation workflows in mind. No unnecessary complexity, just the features professionals actually need.
No subscriptions, no licences, no hidden costs. Download, use, modify. Your translation work, your control.
Leverage cutting-edge AI models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google. Multiple providers for flexibility and reliability.
Works seamlessly with memoQ, CafeTran, and Trados Studio. Import bilingual tables, translate, export back.
Active development with regular updates. New features based on real translator feedback and needs.
4-Layer Prompt Architecture + full document context, translation memory, figures, glossaries, and AI summaries. Multiple context sources for maximum translation precision. See how it works →
