Pairaphrase

What is Pairaphrase?

Pairaphrase is an AI translation management system for teams that need more control than a basic text translator provides. It centralizes document upload, machine or AI translation, terminology, translation memory, human review, editing, formatted export, and recurring multilingual projects.

The platform supports more than 160 languages and over 30 business file formats, including office documents, digital and scanned PDFs, subtitles, audio, video, localization resources, and structured files. Teams can choose among supported translation engines, use OCR, preserve much of the original formatting, collaborate in a shared editor, and connect broader workflows through Google Drive or a REST API.

How to Use Pairaphrase

1. Select source and target languages, then confirm the required engine, terminology, and security policy.
2. Upload an approved document or connect a supported file source.
3. Apply a glossary and Translation Memory before generating the first translation.
4. Translate with the selected AI or machine engine and inspect formatting, OCR, names, numbers, and placeholders.
5. Assign qualified reviewers to edit segments and approve compliance-sensitive or public content.
6. Export the supported format and test layout, links, subtitles, or application resources in context.
7. Save approved translations for reuse and control access, retention, and deletion for sensitive files.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does AI translation remove the need for a reviewer?

No. Legal meaning, technical terms, names, numbers, tone, OCR errors, and layout still require qualified human and in-context review.

Is every feature available on every plan?

No. Language counts, word allowances, engines, OCR, AI tools, file support, and user limits vary by plan.

Can sensitive documents be uploaded safely by default?

Security depends on configuration and organizational controls. Verify access, retention, provider routing, data residency, compliance scope, and deletion requirements before uploading regulated content.
