2.5 Using AI Translation

Choose the editor working language, confirm the original language, and select the translation mode and method.

Open AI Translate

In the top toolbar center area, click the purple AI Translate button.

Set the translation inputs

  • Original Language: choose the source language.
  • Target Language: shown from the current editor working language; change it with the toolbar Language control before opening this dialog.
  • Optional style prompt: add tone or formatting guidance if needed.
  • Preview style prompt: test one line before you run the full job.

Choose the sample line

For preview, use Longest line, Random line, or the Sequence picker.

Preview only tests the prompt. It does not change the script.

Choose the translation mode

  • Translate all empty lines: fill only missing translations.
  • Force overwrite: replace existing translations in the working language.
  • Translation method: choose AI translation or the separate machine translation option.

Start the job

  1. Click Translate in the dialog footer.
  2. Review the estimate in the confirmation dialog.
  3. In that confirmation, choose Skip stage directions if appropriate. Eligible Pro and Pro+ plans can also select enhanced quality for AI translation.
  4. Click Confirm and start in the confirmation dialog footer.

You can choose Stop translation after a job starts. The current batch may finish before processing stops, and translations already saved remain available.

Saved full-script translation changes appear in each line's Line history.
