AI Translation Overview

Supervertaler Workbench can use large language models (LLMs) to translate, review, and rephrase segments. It connects to cloud providers or local models – you choose what works for you.

How it works

  1. Select a segment (or multiple segments) in the translation grid
  2. Click Translate or press Ctrl+T
  3. Supervertaler Workbench sends the source text, along with context (surrounding segments, TM matches, terminology), to the AI provider
  4. The translation appears in the target column

Prompts

AI translation uses configurable prompts that tell the model how to translate. Supervertaler Workbench includes built-in prompts for common tasks, and you can write your own.

Prompts use the .svprompt format – a simple text file with YAML metadata and a Markdown body. This format is shared with Supervertaler for Trados, so prompts work in both tools.

Privacy

  • API keys are stored locally on your machine
  • Source text is sent to the provider’s API only when you trigger a translation
  • When using Ollama, all processing happens on your machine – nothing is sent to the internet
