May 2026: credits, AI tiers and Style Guides
· 2 min read
May changed how AI translation is measured and how it's steered. Plans now come with credits, you can choose a stronger AI per project, and Style Guides tell the AI how your brand sounds.
Credits and AI tiers
- Credits replace words as the unit of a plan. Standard AI uses 1 credit per word, Advanced uses 2 and Premium 4, so 100,000 credits are 100,000 words with Standard AI. (Credits explained)
- Choose the AI per project, from Standard for everyday content to Advanced and Premium (on Pro) for marketing and customer-facing text. (Choose a quality tier)
- The public API can pick the AI tier and apply a style guide too.
Style Guides
- Create a style guide with a wizard: tone, brand voice presets and your own rules. Advanced and Premium AI follow it, and it appears in the Translation Editor sidebar for anyone editing. (Create a style guide)
Translation Editor
- A right-click menu on segments. (Right-click menu)
- Built-in spellcheck that no longer depends on your browser's dictionaries.
- Shift+F3 cycles a selection through lower case, upper case and Title Case.
- An AI suggestion panel, and a sidebar you can move to the bottom, collapse, resize, or show in a larger font.
- Find and Replace jumps to the right page of results, and "next unedited" skips locked segments.
Files
- See the list of loaded files before a project starts.
- PO files with multi-line entries and HTML tags translate correctly.
- Comments in Word files can be translated.
- The editing report downloads as an Excel file.
