Using CotranslatorAI has allowed me to reduce my working time, as I can finish my translations faster. It is a very useful tool and it´s SO easy to use just by pressing a key combination! Definitely worth trying!
Is CotranslatorAI a CAT tool? If not, what is it?
No, it is not a CAT tool. CotranslatorAI is an AI-powered Windows application developed by language professionals for language professionals. It works in tandem with and enhances all of your workflows, both inside and outside your CAT tools.
What makes CotranslatorAI different from a CAT tool?
With an interface engineered for content transformation, unrestricted access to the latest AI models, a prompt library that supports ultra-sophisticated prompting, keyboard shortcuts to mobilize those prompts on demand throughout your work environment, and industry-standard data privacy, CotranslatorAI fills in the gaps and goes beyond the functionality of the AI in your CAT tools and other applications.
What will CotranslatorAI do for me as a language professional?
CotranslatorAI will enhance your efficiency from the start by providing ready-to-use prompts for some of your everyday tasks. As you become more familiar with the tool and prompting, you’ll discover new ways to integrate AI into your daily processes using custom prompts. By saving and leveraging your prompts in the CotranslatorAI prompt library, some with custom keyboard shortcuts and others that you have favorited, you’ll see a steady increase in productivity. These improvements will be on top of the benefits you’re already getting from upgrades to your CAT tools and other software. Moreover, CotranslatorAI is designed to evolve with technological advancements, ensuring you stay at the forefront of developments.
How much does CotranslatorAI cost?
We offer three editions. CotranslatorAI Starter is free, and CotranslatorAI Intermediate and CotranslatorAI Advanced are purchased on an annual subscription basis.
Do I pay for data use?
We do not charge you for usage; but you do have to pay OpenAI for the data you process. In the process of installing CotranslatorAI, we will provide you with instructions on setting up your account with OpenAI.
OpenAI? Who's that?
OpenAI, the developer of ChatGPT and the GPT series of AI models, is the undisputed leader in generative AI. Currently, CotranslatorAI links to OpenAI’s GPT models, such as the cutting-edge GPT-4 Turbo and GPT-4o, for all operations.
What happens with my data?
CotranslatorAI is a small application installed on your Windows computer; it is not cloud based and we do not have access to your data at any time. All data is exchanged directly with OpenAI’s AI models through industry-standard HTTPS encryption. OpenAI guarantees that your data isn’t used for model training, nor is it shared. It is also deleted promptly from the OpenAI servers. For futher details, please refer to OpenAI’s Enterprise Privacy Policy, which covers data privacy through the API as used by CotranslatorAI.
Is CotranslatorAI hard to learn?
The basic functions are simple; you can learn them with our short series of Beginner’s Guide emails. But CotranslatorAI is powerful, and there is a learning curve if you want to go deep, as well as for becoming a skilled prompt engineer. It will also take time to build and become proficient at using your prompt library using our Micros Iterative AI Frameworks.
We offer beginner, intermediate, and advanced training to help you efficiently integrate AI into your daily work as a language professional. We also sponsor AI4LanguageProfessionals, an online group for language professionals working with AI.
Why would I make such an effort? Why not just use the AI in my other tools?
Let’s be very clear: As language professionals, we will not get paid extra for the value others create for us; we will only prosper by earning our productivity gains. In other words, while we have no choice but to use the tools of our trade, we cannot expect any lasting upside as our tools get better with easy-to-use AI upgrades.
CotranslatorAI is different. It is a unique tool with which you can apply the Micro Iterative AI Frameworks to increase your efficiency, accuracy, quality, and creativity beyond what is possible using only your other applications. Because you will realize these gains through an ongoing, iterative process that leverages your tacit knowledge and embeds it into your prompts, you can achieve a sustainable, competitive advantage.
Thanks again for your work both on the app and in the seminars! This is the best piece of translation tech in a very long time!
