This guide walks you through creating your first project step-by-step.

No credit card required for the free plan.
Choose between:

Step 2: Upload Your File
Click the “New Project” button to upload a file.
Supported formats include:
- Microsoft Office files (DOCX, XLSX, PPTX)

Note: Uploading ZIP packages for batch projects is not yet supported, but we plan to add this feature soon. For now, please upload files individually.
Taia automatically detects the source language and preserves document formatting wherever possible.
Step 3: Choose Target Language(s)
You can select one or multiple target languages from our list of 200+ supported options.
You can also specify locale variants (e.g., Spanish – Mexico, French – Canada).
Step 4: Select a Translation Mode
You have three options:
- AI Translation Only: Instantly translate the document
- Edit the AI Output: Launch the CAT Editor
- Request a Human Quote: Order MTPE, revision, or proofreading services
Step 5: Review and Download
After the translation is complete:
- Preview and edit your content in the editor
- Download the translated document (with original formatting preserved)
- Invite collaborators or assign professional tasks
Optional: Add Glossary or TM
You can add a glossary or reuse existing translation memory for consistency across projects.
This improves terminology usage and reduces post-editing time.
Optional: Create a Team

- Invite teammates
