All you need to know

To ensure a seamless and successful experience with ModelWiz on the Alocai Platform, please review the following information:

Generative AI Enhancement:

When accessing the translator, you will see a toggle enabled by default. The reason for this is to provide the highest output quality thanks to our integration of MT (Machine Translation) with Generative AI for output enhancement. However, from the toggle, you can disable the integration. When doing it, you will get an output from ModelWiz "generic" models instead.

If your project is already customized, all previously integrated prompts will also be disabled.

File Preparation:

When translating from spreadsheet files, ensure to remove all columns and tabs, retaining only the column containing the content for translation. The first row won't be translated since it is considered as the column title.

Processing Time:

Translation on the Alocai Platform may take several minutes depending on the batch size. We recommend uploading batches of no more than 150 sentences at a time to prevent server timeouts. Please refrain from closing the window during the translation process.

Multilanguage Translation:

For translation from English to multiple target languages, follow these steps:

  1. Upload the file for the first translation.
  2. Download the file with the translation output.
  3. Select another target language.
  4. Click the "Translate" button and repeat the process for all desired target languages.

For Text-to-Text, a similar process applies:

  1. Copy the translation.
  2. Select another target language.
  3. Click the "Translate" button again.

File Formats:

Supported formats include .csv, .xls, .xlsx, .ods, and .txt.

Post-Edition:

Please note that the translation output is not editable on the Alocai Platform. If you need to incorporate ModelWiz into your localization workflows, utilize it through our machine translation plugin on MemoQ.
