October 2026: length limits, Fit to length and smarter glossaries

· 3 min read

A button label has room for 20 characters and the German wants 31. October brought length limits for exactly that, plus glossaries that recognize inflected words in far more languages, and a long list of collaboration improvements.

Length limits and Fit to length​

  • Length limits. Switch them on in Project Resources and nobody can save a translation that runs longer than its limit. Translators see how many characters are left, and managers can filter for segments over the limit.
  • Fit to length. Advanced and Premium AI can shorten new translations to fit, for 50% more credits. (Keep translations within a length limit)

Glossaries and translation memory​

  • Glossary terms are recognized in their inflected forms in about 170 more languages, and terms written in capitals match too.
  • Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Thai terms match correctly, and missing-term warnings work.
  • Terminology extraction works on files in Chinese, Arabic, Georgian, Hindi, Hebrew, Japanese and Korean.
  • A human correction now takes priority over an older TM entry.
  • Linguists working on a private project see its TM and glossary.
  • Importing a TMX imports every language pair in it. (Import a TMX file)

AI translation​

  • Advanced AI translates Norwegian Nynorsk correctly, and every tier follows the regional variant you pick, such as Canadian French or Brazilian Portuguese.
  • AI translation handles the low „ opening quotation mark correctly in Serbian, Croatian, German and Polish.

Translation Studio​

  • Accept and decline ask for confirmation, and you're notified when a waiting task is ready to start. (Accept or decline an assignment)
  • Annotations are now called Errors, and the translator is notified when an Error is added to their segment.
  • After submitting, a linguist can view their work read-only and still reply to comments. (After a task is submitted)
  • Comments and Errors from linguists stay internal to the team.
  • Auto-propagate shows what differs between almost-identical segments and asks before changing earlier copies.
  • Locked segments count as done, so progress reaches 100%, and you can unlock TM-match locks separately.

Projects and files​

  • Download all source files as one ZIP. (Download source files)
  • Generate Files runs in the background, and keeps going if you refresh the page.
  • Very large PowerPoint files convert reliably, and a stuck conversion ends with a clear message.
  • Speaker notes are translated by default, and Org defaults for Word, Excel and PowerPoint apply to everyone in the organization.

Organizations and orders​

  • Invite one person into several teams at once. (Invite a team member)
  • The invite page shows which address an invitation was sent to, with Log Out and Not My Invite buttons for when it reached the wrong account.
  • A refreshed order page shows delivery speed, anything added after ordering, and what's still to pay. (Read your order page)
  • Organization reports can be filtered by project tag.
  • Webhooks show their signing secret after you create them, and you can regenerate it. (Configure a webhook)

Accounts​

  • Linguists can sign up straight into their linguist profile. (Become a Taia linguist)
  • The password-reset link works when you're logged in, and expires after 30 minutes.
  • The check when you sign up or log in works everywhere, including mainland China.
