Tilde Machine Translation · Riga, Latvia · founded 1991
What it is
Tilde Machine Translation is a web and API service from Tilde Machine Translation, a company founded in 1991 and headquartered in Riga, Latvia. It translates text, PDFs, documents, and images with TildeOpen LLM in 34 languages. Document and image translation keeps the source layout and formatting. LLM tools can rephrase wording for tone, summarise key points, and extract insights. Glossaries help maintain chosen terminology, while translation memory supports recurring work. The API connects with websites, applications, CAT tools, and workflows, and supports more than 30 file types up to 25 MB. Plugins are listed for Trados Studio, Phrase TMS, and MemoQ. API content is encrypted, not stored or used for model training, and deleted after translation. Plans include Starter at €9.99/mo and a 14-day trial; there is no free plan.
