Create Your First Project

Taia is designed to make your first translation experience fast and frictionless — whether you're a solo user or part of a large team.

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

Step 1: Sign Up or Log In

You can start using Taia instantly by visiting translate.taia.io.
No credit card required for the free plan.

Choose between:

  • Google Login (recommended)
  • Email + password registration

Step 2: Upload Your File

Click the “New Project” button to upload a file.
Supported formats include:

  • Microsoft Office files (DOCX, XLSX, PPTX)
  • PDF (scanned or editable)
  • InDesign (.IDML)
  • Subtitles (SRT, VTT)
  • ZIP packages with multiple files

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

Working in a group? You can:

  • Invite teammates
  • Share projects
  • Manage billing centrally
  • Assign roles and permissions
