What makes GoodTrans different from a normal AI chat tool?

GoodTrans is designed for document delivery. It estimates Credits, accepts files, applies translation preferences, runs in the background, and delivers editable files plus a quality report by email.

Is GoodTrans an independent AI product?

Yes. GoodTrans is an independent AI-assisted translation workflow. It provides a custom interface and delivery package built on third-party language models and document-processing services, and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any underlying model or service provider.

What file formats do you support?

GoodTrans supports pasted text, TXT, Markdown, and PDF up to 50MB. It focuses on clean editable delivery rather than perfect visual recreation of complex source layouts.

Do you support small or hard-to-source languages?

Yes. GoodTrans supports translation across 100+ languages, including major languages and many where qualified translators are harder to find. Quality varies by language, translation direction, and document type, so for uncommon languages or high-stakes documents we recommend translation preferences, glossary notes, and human review.

Do I get trial Credits?

Yes. New accounts get 10,000 trial Credits, valid for 30 days. A translation task has a 500-Credit minimum, so the trial is enough to test the full workflow on a short real document.

How are Credits counted?

Latin text is counted by words. CJK text is counted by characters. One billable unit uses one Credit, with a 500-Credit minimum per task.

How do I get the result?

The translation runs in the background. When it completes, GoodTrans emails links to the Markdown translation, TXT translation, and quality report. You can also return to the task status page.

Can I provide terminology requirements?

Yes. You can add terminology notes or upload a glossary file when submitting a task. This is especially useful for technical, legal, product, and brand-sensitive documents.

Does the quality report replace human review?

No. The report helps reviewers focus on terminology, structure, and possible issues. For legal, medical, certified, or high-stakes use, qualified human review is still recommended.

What happens if a task fails after Credits are used?

GoodTrans marks the task failed, returns the Credits automatically, and sends a failure email with practical next steps.

How does GoodTrans handle technical, legal, or medical terminology?

GoodTrans lets you provide terminology notes or upload a glossary file before submission. It also extracts high-confidence terminology cues from the document and applies them during translation. For legal, medical, certified, or regulated documents, the output should still be reviewed by a qualified human reviewer before external use.

What's the typical turnaround time for a long document?

Turnaround depends on document length, language direction, formatting complexity, and provider load. Short documents may finish in minutes, while long documents can take longer because GoodTrans prioritizes review-ready output over a fast but shallow translation pass.

How long does it take to translate a 50-page document?

A 50-page document runs as an asynchronous task, so you do not need to keep the page open. Completion time varies with extracted text length, language direction, formatting complexity, and provider load; GoodTrans sends the delivery email when the translation package is ready.

Can AI translate legal documents accurately?

AI can produce a useful legal translation draft, but legal wording can change rights and obligations. GoodTrans supports terminology guidance and review files, while qualified human review remains recommended for contracts, certified translations, filings, and other high-stakes legal use.

What file formats does GoodTrans support for long documents?

GoodTrans accepts pasted text and TXT, Markdown, and PDF files up to the published upload limit. It delivers editable Markdown and TXT translations, a bilingual review file, and a separate quality report rather than promising perfect reconstruction of the original page layout.

Can I review and edit the translation after delivery?

Yes. GoodTrans delivers editable Markdown and TXT files, plus a bilingual review file for side-by-side checking. The goal is to give reviewers a clean working package rather than a locked or image-only result.

How do you keep terminology consistent across long documents?

GoodTrans combines user-provided glossary entries, document-level terminology cues, and per-segment context. Long documents are processed with structure and surrounding context in mind, so repeated terms, names, headings, and document conventions are easier to inspect and maintain.

Which languages may need extra review?

GoodTrans supports 100+ languages, but quality varies by language pair, available training data, domain, and source text quality. Low-resource languages, dialect-heavy writing, scanned PDFs, and high-stakes professional documents should get closer human review.

How is my document data protected?

GoodTrans uses private task links, controlled delivery URLs, and email delivery to your address. You should avoid uploading documents you're not allowed to process with third-party AI or document extraction services.

Can I get my Credits back if the system fails?

Yes. If a task fails after Credits are used, GoodTrans automatically returns the Credits for that task. If you believe a completed result has a serious issue, contact support with the task ID so it can be reviewed.

How does the quality report help me?

The quality report summarizes terminology, structure, boundary consistency, and review notes. It doesn't replace expert review, but it helps you inspect the translation faster and focus on the parts most likely to need attention.

Publication-Grade Document Translation

GoodTrans turns a long document into a delivery package you can hand off: editable Markdown and TXT, a bilingual review file, a terminology-consistent glossary, and a document-level quality report — emailed to you when it finishes. “Publication-grade” is our standard for the delivery, not a promise to replace your reviewer.

Upload a long document, configure its language and terminology requirements, and receive editable translations, bilingual review files, and a quality report by email.
