Frequently asked questions about Taia
What makes Taia different from other translation platforms?
Taia is the only platform that combines AI translation, in-house editing tools, and professional linguist services in one place. You don't need to switch between tools or manage multiple vendors. Start with AI for speed, edit with your team for brand consistency, or order professional translation for critical content—all from the same dashboard. Your translation memory and glossaries work across all three modes, continuously improving quality.
How does pricing work?
We offer transparent, flexible pricing. AI translation is included in all subscription plans: Free (5,000 words/month), Basic (€9 for 20,000 words), Pro (€39 for 100,000 words), and custom Enterprise plans. Professional translation services are pay-as-you-go with instant quotes based on your chosen quality tier: Essential (from €0.06/word), Enhanced (from €0.09/word), or Ultimate (from €0.12/word). No hidden fees, no minimums, no monthly commitments for professional services.
What file formats do you support?
Taia supports 64 file formats including Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), PDFs, InDesign, HTML, XML, XLIFF, JSON, subtitles (SRT, VTT), and many more. Formatting, layout, and design are automatically preserved. You can also integrate via API for seamless content translation from your CMS, e-commerce platform, or custom application.
How many languages are available?
Taia supports 204 languages for both AI and professional translation, including all major European, Asian, Middle Eastern, and African languages. Our professional linguist network covers over 2,000 language pairs with native speakers and subject matter experts. Popular language pairs include English-German, English-French, English-Spanish, English-Chinese, English-Japanese, and hundreds more.
Is Taia secure? What about confidentiality?
Yes. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). We're GDPR compliant and offer custom NDAs for enterprise clients. Our professional linguists sign confidentiality agreements. For maximum security, Enterprise plans include single sign-on (SSO), dedicated infrastructure, and custom data retention policies. Your content is never used to train AI models.
What's the difference between AI translation and professional translation?
AI translation is instant, cost-effective, and ideal for high-volume content like support docs, internal communications, or e-commerce product descriptions. Quality improves as you add glossaries and translation memories. Professional translation involves native-speaking linguists with subject expertise, ideal for marketing materials, legal documents, technical manuals, or content where brand voice and cultural nuance matter. Many customers use a hybrid approach: AI for drafts, professionals for final polish.
Can my team edit translations in-house?
Absolutely. Taia includes a professional translation editor where your team can review, edit, and refine any translation—whether AI-generated or professionally translated. You can assign tasks to team members, track progress, add comments, and maintain translation memories. All edits automatically update your translation memory, improving future translations. It's like having a collaborative document editor with built-in translation memory.
What is translation memory and why does it matter?
Translation memory (TM) is a database that stores all your previous translations. When you translate new content, Taia automatically reuses exact or similar matches from your TM, ensuring consistency and reducing costs. For example, if you've translated your product name or tagline before, it will always be translated the same way. TMs are especially valuable for repetitive content like software UI, product catalogs, or documentation updates. Customers like Hyundai reduced translation time by 60% using translation memory.
Do you offer integrations or API access?
Yes. Taia offers a RESTful API for developers to integrate translation directly into your applications, CMS, e-commerce platform, or workflow. Popular integrations include WordPress, Shopify, Contentful, and custom CMSs. Enterprise plans include dedicated API support, webhooks for automation, and higher rate limits. We also support industry-standard formats like XLIFF for compatibility with other CAT tools.
What quality certifications does Taia have?
Taia is ISO 17100 certified for translation services, the international standard for quality management in translation. Our professional linguists are vetted, native speakers with subject matter expertise and an average of 5+ years experience. For Ultimate quality tier, we provide two-stage review (translation + editing) and certification for legal, medical, or regulatory use.
