Supervertaler

Supervertaler for memoQ

An AI translation engine that learns from the segments you confirm, a terminology provider that puts your glossary into memoQ's own pane and into the AI's prompt, and a companion window for everything memoQ gives a plugin no room for.

Download free trial Help For memoQ 11 and 12. No credit card – full access for 14 days, then €20/month. Already subscribed for Trados? memoQ is included.

Supervertaler for memoQ – the Supervertaler editor open beside memoQ's translation grid, with termbase terms highlighted in the source and the AI's suggestion and term hits in Translation results

What it does

AI translation

Anthropic, OpenAI or Google with your own API key, or a model on your own computer, with your own instructions.

  • Segment by segment as you move through the grid, or batched through Pre-translate
  • Inline tags survive the round trip through memoQ's own serialiser
  • Identical requests are answered from a cache, without a second call
  • Prompt caching: on a measured 370-segment run it turned roughly €10 into roughly €4
  • Local models through Ollama or an OpenAI-compatible server – how one did on a real patent

It learns from what you confirm

Every segment you confirm is captured, and the most relevant ones are shown to the model when it translates later segments of the same document.

  • Confirm electric module once and the rest of the document follows
  • No configuration, no retraining – your own approved choices, fed forward
  • Persisted to disk, so it survives closing memoQ

Terminology, in both places

A tab-separated glossary appears as a memoQ terminology provider, and the same terms reach the model.

  • Matched terms highlighted in the source, entries in Translation results
  • Forbidden terms are enforced rather than merely displayed
  • A glossary facing the wrong language pair is reported, not silently ignored

FigureLens

The AI reads your text and cannot see your pictures. FigureLens closes that gap.

  • Images out of the documents, described by the AI, saved where every prompt reads them
  • Vector drawings – what a CAD figure usually is – are rasterised on the way out
  • Reference signs visible in a drawing but absent from the text are listed for you

List numbering the grid never shows

Word generates the a), b), c) on the steps of a claim, so no CAT grid contains them – and neither did anything the AI received.

  • Read from the original document, counted exactly as Word renders it
  • Sent as structure the model may use and must never reproduce
  • Any marker echoed back is stripped before it reaches your target

Translate with Claude Desktop

An MCP server lets Claude – or any local MCP client – read the document you are translating and stage translations into the grid.

  • Tokens go on your Claude subscription rather than an API key
  • Every write into the document still goes through your own hands
  • Your confirmed segments, glossary and memory banks are readable to it

Context layers

Feed an AI one sentence at a time and you get good sentences and a poor translation. In Supervertaler, every request assembles a fresh snapshot of your work – the segments you confirmed, your glossary, what you have recorded about the client, the numbering, the figures – and hands the whole thing to the AI.

The layers, and where each one comes from

Pricing

€20 a month, or €200 a year

One licence covers Supervertaler for Trados and Supervertaler for memoQ.

Use either, or both – there is no second subscription for working in a second tool. Already subscribed for Trados? Then you already have this. On a computer where the Trados plugin is activated, the memoQ plugin picks up your licence by itself; anywhere else, enter the same key under Help, Licence.

Pricing should never be a barrier. If these rates are a stretch – whether you are just starting out, based in a lower-income region, or going through a tough time – a reduced rate is available. Just get in touch and we will work something out.

Requirements

memoQ 11 or 12

The translator pro or project manager edition. With both installed, Supervertaler goes into both.

An API key, or Claude Desktop

Anthropic, OpenAI or Google for direct translation; or drive it from Claude Desktop on your existing subscription.

A Supervertaler licence

The same one that covers Trados, so nothing extra to buy. The 14-day trial starts by itself.

Installation

One installer, and two ticks inside memoQ.

Download and run

Download the installer, close memoQ, and run it. Windows asks for administrator rights once, because memoQ keeps its add-ins under Program Files.

Switch it on in memoQ

The installer's last page lists the two memoQ settings to tick, one for translation and one for terminology. Then restart memoQ once.

Translate

The trial starts by itself. When you subscribe, enter your key in Supervertaler for memoQ on the Start menu, under Help, Licence.
