If you want the quality of your translations to hit new heights, we have good news for you. Thanks to our close collaboration with Microsoft, the Trados app has officially landed in the Microsoft Marketplace. It’s just waiting to make your multilingual life a whole lot easier.

What’s the big deal?

Imagine that you’re working in Microsoft 365 and that Copilot is doing some AI magic. You need a translation that doesn’t sound like it’s been written by a robot with a hangover. Enter Trados from stage left. The app plugs into Microsoft Copilot and Microsoft Teams and uses your corporate linguistic resources which are orchestrated by the Trados platform. You get enterprise-grade translation and review tools without leaving your comfy Microsoft ecosystem. 
 
Here's why you’ll love it: 
  • Approved linguistic resources: No more guessing the right term for your thingamajig in another language. 
  • Translation memory and terminology: Keep your tone consistent and your vocabulary on point. 
  • Security first: Say goodbye to free translation tools that don’t guarantee that your content and data won’t be re-used. 
  • Cost control: Centralized access means no more rogue translation invoices sneaking into your allocated budget. 

I want some Trados magic!

Certainly. Grab the app from here. 

Alternatively, you can browse for the app from Microsoft Teams or Microsoft Copilot. Once installed, connect it to your Trados Cloud tenant (your admin will have the details) and boom – welcome to translating like a pro. With the built-in terminology support, you won’t accidentally turn “customer success” into “customer stress”: 

What’s next?

This is just the beginning. We’ve got big plans brewing such as: 
  • Full document translation (sentence-by-sentence is very last season). 
  • Project creation and tracking (we all love a dashboard). 
  • Access to data and analytics with AI-powered Smart Insights (data is the new black). 
Do you have your own ideas? We’re all ears – drop us a line and tell us what you’d like to see. Watch this space for future iterations. Spoiler alert: They’re going to be awesome.
