Changelog

Batch previews now appear up to 3x faster

The file preview now appears much sooner when you import a batch, so you can check its structure while AI-powered suggestions continue loading separately.

When you import a batch, the file preview can now appear up to three times faster. You can start checking the structure and text values sooner, while the AI-powered suggestions continue loading independently when they need more time.

The preview and suggestions are still based on the same uploaded file. This only changes when each part becomes available, not what AI Glot analyses or suggests.

Clearer statuses, and one fewer thing to guess

A translation waiting on you now says what it wants: Needs instructions or Needs approval, instead of one Action required for both. Cancelled is its own status, and queued is gone.

Until now a translation waiting on you said Action required, whether it needed a sentence describing the job or just a yes on a plan we had already priced. Two different asks, one label.

They are two statuses now: Needs instructions and Needs approval. Over the API and the CLI they are awaiting_instructions and awaiting_approval, so a script can tell which call to make next without guessing.

Cancelled is its own status. A translation you stopped used to be recorded as failed with a note attached, which meant any count of failures quietly included the ones you cancelled on purpose. It no longer does. Over the API, a cancelled batch now reports status: "cancelled" and no error object at all, where it used to report a failure carrying the code cancelled.

queued is gone. It was in the published list of statuses but was never once emitted, so a script branching on it was waiting for something that could not happen.

If you filter or branch on statuses, the full list is on the CLI automation page, with which three are terminal.

See where each translation came from, and filter by it

Your translations list now shows whether a translation was started from the dashboard, the API, the CLI or an MCP client, and you can filter by that or by file type.

A new Origin column tells you how each translation was started: Dashboard, API, CLI, MCP or Free tool. It appears on the translations list and on your home page, so a workspace where people work in the app and scripts run overnight no longer looks like one undifferentiated pile.

Two filters come with it. Origin narrows the list to one surface, which answers “what did our automation run last week?” in one click. Type narrows it by file format, which matters now that twelve formats are accepted rather than only CSV.

Both filters search your whole workspace, not just the translations currently on screen, and they combine with each other and with the status filter.

Translations created before today show a dash: they predate the column, and we would rather show nothing than guess.

Your translations

Four times more words for your money

Every plan and every credit pack now costs far less per word. Starter carries ten times the monthly words, Pro carries five times, and the Business plan retires because Pro now includes what it used to.

As the translation engine got cheaper to run, the pricing follows. What changed is the price per word, and it changed a lot.

Subscriptions carry far more words for a lower price per word.

The Business plan retires. It carried 1,000,000 words a month for 899€. Pro now carries the same 1,000,000 for 199€, so Business had nothing left to offer.

Credit packs are about 2.4x cheaper per word too, and there are now four instead of the old set: 50,000 words for 50€, 250,000 for 200€, 1,000,000 for 600€, and 5,000,000 for 1,750€. The largest works out at 0.00035€ a word.

Describe what you need, instead of picking a mode

The four fixed CSV modes are retired. Every translation now starts with a sentence in your own words, and AI Glot proves what it understood against your real file before a single credit is spent.

Until now, starting a translation meant choosing one of four modes: one column, several language columns, selected columns, or the whole file. Each did exactly one thing well and nothing else. If your job was “only fill the German cells that are still empty”, no mode expressed it, and none ever would.

Now you write what you want, in one sentence, in your own language. “Translate the label and description columns into French, leave the SKUs alone.” “Only translate rows where the Spanish column is empty.” “Keep every {count} placeholder exactly as written.”

The empty box arrives pre-filled. AI Glot reads your file first and suggests two or three instructions it can actually carry out on this specific file, so you can start from one and edit it rather than guessing what is possible.

And it shows you the result before you pay. AI Glot runs your instruction against your real file, then displays exactly which cells, keys or subtitles it will write and what the new text will be, alongside the measured word count and the exact credit cost. Nothing is estimated and nothing is promised: what you see is a sample of the actual run. Approve it and the same work continues; change your instruction and nothing has been charged.

The four modes are gone from the interface. Translations created before today keep their history and their downloads.

How a translation works

The app feels 4x faster

Moving around AI Glot no longer reloads it. Your translations, glossaries, usage and settings switch immediately, and a running translation keeps updating while you look at something else.

The app used to fetch a fresh page every time you moved between sections. It no longer does: navigation happens in place, so opening your translation list, a glossary or the usage page is immediate rather than a wait. It feels roughly four times faster to move around.

A translation in progress keeps reporting where it is even while you are on another page, and coming back to it shows the current state rather than a stale one.

Referral rewards increased

Invite someone and they now start with 5,000 credits. You earn 5,000 when they run their first translation and 20,000 when they first buy credits, up from 3,000 and 7,000.

Every reward in the referral programme is larger:

• Someone you invite starts with 5,000 credits, up from 3,000.
• You earn 5,000 credits when they finish their first translation, up from 3,000.
• You earn 20,000 credits when they make their first purchase, up from 7,000.

Rewards already earned are unaffected. Credits expire 90 days after they are granted, as before.

Translate from the API and from an agent

Creating, planning, approving and cancelling a translation are now API operations, and the MCP server grows from eleven tools to fifteen. Twelve file formats are accepted, each with its own size ceiling.

Starting a translation used to mean opening the web app. It no longer does.

Four new REST operations cover the whole run: POST /v1/batches creates one from a file, POST /v1/batches/{id}/plan describes what to translate in plain language and hands back measured counts with a preview of real extractions, POST /v1/batches/{id}/approve spends the credits and starts, and POST /v1/batches/{id}/cancel stops one mid-flight, charging only the work that ran.

The same four arrive as MCP tools, taking the standard server from eleven to fifteen: create_translation, plan_translation, approve_translation and cancel_translation. Approval is the only one that spends anything, which makes it the one worth putting behind a confirmation in clients that support it.

AI Glot also accepts twelve format families now, not only CSV: XLSX, ZIP, XLIFF, Android XML, RESX, JSON and Flutter ARB, YAML, gettext PO, iOS .strings, Java .properties and SRT, each with its own size ceiling.

20 New Translation Languages

AI Glot now supports 20 additional languages for translation, CSV normalization, glossary pairs, the API, and the free translator.

The new languages are Afrikaans, Albanian, Amharic, Bosnian, Burmese, Catalan, Central Kurdish (Sorani), Dari, Haitian Creole, Kannada, Khmer, Macedonian, Malayalam, Nepali, Northern Kurdish (Kurmanji), Oromo, Pashto, Romany (generic), Somali, and Tigrinya.

Command-line interface

The aiglot CLI brings your workspace to a terminal or a CI script: log in with OAuth or an API key, then read usage, translations, and glossaries or script against the raw API.

Install aiglot, run aiglot auth login, and your workspace is scriptable. JSON and NDJSON output, environment-variable credentials for CI, and an aiglot api escape hatch that reaches any REST endpoint directly, including ones the CLI has no dedicated command for yet.

Read the CLI docs

MCP server

Connect Claude, ChatGPT, or any Streamable HTTP MCP client to your AI Glot workspace with OAuth, as eleven typed tools or as a search-and-execute Code Mode for bounded multi-step work.

Two ways for an agent to reach AI Glot over MCP: eleven task-shaped tools for maximum compatibility, or a Code Mode pair (search and execute) that runs model-written JavaScript in a network-isolated sandbox for multi-step work. Both sit behind the same OAuth consent screen and the same permission scopes as everything else.

Read the MCP docs

REST API

Read your workspace, credits, usage, translations, and glossaries over HTTP with a stable, versioned JSON API, authenticated by a workspace API key or OAuth.

A stable /v1 REST API for everything short of starting a translation: account and plan details, credit balance and usage over time, your existing translations, and full glossary management. Predictable pagination, one error shape, and a published OpenAPI description behind every endpoint.

Read the API docs

Public documentation

A dedicated docs site covering the platform, the REST API, the CLI, and MCP, with search, an OpenAPI reference, and a Markdown version of every page for AI agents.

Everything about using AI Glot now has one home at ai-glot.com/docs: how the platform itself works, and the three ways to reach it programmatically: the REST API, the CLI, and MCP. Every page ships as clean Markdown too, so an AI assistant can read it exactly as written instead of guessing from a screenshot.

Clearer Usage Analytics, with Breakdowns and Custom Time Views

The Usage page got a redesign: clearer charts, category breakdowns for credits and translations, and the option to group activity by day, week, or month.

Your Usage page just got easier to read and more useful for spotting trends over time.

• A clearer chart. usage is now shown as clean, easy-to-read bars instead of a single line, so spikes and quiet periods stand out immediately.
• See exactly where your credits go. credit spend is now broken down into translations, analysis, and manual adjustments.
• Track translation outcomes at a glance. the translations view separates completed, free sample, and in-progress or failed batches.
• Group by day, week, or month. looking at a long period like the last year? Switch to weekly or monthly grouping to keep the chart readable.
• A smoother date range picker. pick a preset range or a custom one with a redesigned calendar that behaves the way you’d expect.

See What's Left to Set Up, at a Glance

The review step now highlights any field you still need to fill in, like the output language, so nothing gets missed before you launch.

Before starting a translation, you review how your CSV will be mapped. It was easy to miss a field you’d left unset, like the output language, especially on longer setups.

• Clear “needs setup” markers. any section that still needs input, such as an unmapped language or column, is now clearly highlighted.
• Quiet confirmation when ready. sections you’ve already configured get a subtle checkmark, so you can tell at a glance what’s done and what isn’t.
• Nothing to hunt for. the missing piece is flagged right where you need to fix it, instead of only in a message at the bottom of the page.

A Refreshed, Faster-to-Navigate Interface

A cleaner, more readable app with a collapsible sidebar and a keyboard shortcut to jump between pages instantly.

We gave the app a fresh coat of paint, focused on clarity and getting around faster:

• Cleaner, easier-to-read interface. refined spacing, contrast, and controls across the app, so everything is easier to scan and act on.
• Collapsible sidebar. collapse the navigation to a compact icon bar whenever you want more room to work, and expand it again in a single click.
• Quick page search. press ⌘K (or Ctrl+K on Windows) from anywhere to jump straight to the page you need.

Translation Batches Are Now 22% Faster

We've improved AI Glot so typical small translation batches now complete 22% faster.

That means less waiting between starting a translation and receiving the finished CSV, with the same translation quality and workflow you already use.

Completion time still varies with file structure, language pair, and content length.

Instant CSV File Check on Import

We now check your CSV the moment you add it and point to the exact line of any problem, so broken files are caught before translation starts.

Some CSV files look perfectly clean in Excel or Numbers but are actually malformed underneath. A stray or unescaped quote is the most common culprit. Spreadsheet apps quietly patch these over, so you never see the problem until a translation fails halfway through.

AI Glot now runs an instant structure check the moment you add a file, right in your browser. If everything is in order, you get a green checkmark and can start straight away. If something is off, the “Analyze CSV” button stays disabled and we show a clear, human-readable message pointing to the exact line, for example an unclosed or unescaped quote, so you can fix it and re-upload in seconds. No wasted time, and no surprises once translation is underway.

Improved Japanese CSV Support

Japanese CSV files are now handled more reliably from upload through translated export.

AI Glot now handles Japanese CSV files more reliably, helping preserve Japanese text correctly from upload through translated export.

Code-Aware CSV Translation

Better handling of complex CSVs where translatable text is mixed with code, markup, placeholders, or structured syntax.

AI Glot now handles complex CSV content more reliably when text to translate is mixed with code, markup, placeholders, or other structured syntax. This helps preserve the technical parts of each cell while translating the content that should change.

App Language Support

The AI Glot app is now available in English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian.

The AI Glot app is now available in the same languages as our website.

You can choose your app language in Account Settings:

• English
• French (Français)
• German (Deutsch)
• Spanish (Español)
• Portuguese (Português)
• Italian (Italiano)

This updates the app interface to match the language you prefer.

Real-time Translation Progress

Visual progress bars for active batches to track exactly when your translations will be completed.

Get a clear view of your translation lifecycle with real-time progress indicators for every active batch in your workspace.

Lite Quality Tier

Translate large, less critical batches for up to 3x fewer credits with the new Lite tier.

Lite is a new translation quality tier for paid workspaces. It is designed for bulk or lower-risk CSV translation where saving credits matters more than using the fastest, highest-quality Standard process.

Standard remains the default for every batch. When you choose Lite, AI Glot shows the lower credit estimate before launch and charges the discounted cost when the translation completes.

Big File Engine Stability

We have improved our translation engine to increase its reliability, specifically for files over 10,000 rows.

More Granular Language Options

Choose more precise language variants like English (United States), Chinese (Simplified), and Spanish (Spain) for better translation matching.

We expanded our language options so you can now pick the variant that fits your file more precisely.

That means examples like:

• English (United States) and English (United Kingdom)
• Chinese (Simplified) and Chinese (Traditional)
• Spanish (Spain) and Spanish (Latin America)

This gives AI Glot more granularity when matching translation settings, glossary pairs, and workflow outputs.

Manual Review UX Improvements

A cleaner review step with less visual clutter and more contextual guidance.

We improved the manual review experience by moving helper text into tooltips on the main review titles. That keeps the screen lighter while still giving you the context you need when you hover for more detail.

Full Website Localization

AI Glot is now available in 6 languages: English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian.

We are excited to announce that AI Glot has gone global! Our website, blog, and documentation are now fully localized to support our international users.

You can now experience AI Glot in:

• English
• French (Français)
• German (Deutsch)
• Spanish (Español)
• Portuguese (Português)
• Italian (Italiano)

We believe that high-quality translation should be accessible to everyone, and this is a major step toward making our platform truly borderless.

Onboarding Email Sequence

New onboarding email sequence to help you get started and succeed with AI Glot.

We’ve introduced a new onboarding email sequence designed to guide you through your first translations and ensure you’re getting the most out of the platform from day one.

Manage your referrals and grab your link from the new Referrals section in your dashboard. Referral credits are valid for 90 days.

Multi-Language Columns Mode

Fill several existing language columns from one source column.

Translate one trusted source column into multiple destination language columns in the same CSV. This mode uses our intelligent mapping to automatically detect language headers like Spanish, French, and German, allowing you to fill target columns in place even if they are currently empty.

Full CSV Mode

One-click translation of every cell and header in your file.

The fastest way to localize your entire dataset. Full CSV mode automatically detects all text-heavy columns and translates everything in one go, including headers, to provide a fully localized version of your original file instantly.

Zero-Mapping CMS Localization

Overwrite existing columns directly to maintain CMS compatibility with platforms like Webflow and Shopify.

Localization shouldn’t break your database. With our new “In-Place” translation mode, AI Glot can now overwrite the original content columns while preserving your CSV structure.

This is a game-changer for Webflow Localization and other CMS users who need the translated content to sit in specific, existing columns without the manual work of re-mapping headers after translation.

Selected Columns Mode

Multi-column translation with in-place updates, perfect for Webflow and CMS exports.

Translate multiple columns simultaneously while maintaining your CSV structure. This mode is designed for complex data where several fields need localization at once, supporting both new column creation and overwriting existing ones.

Intelligent Language Detection & Logic

Intelligent source language detection and support for per-row language columns.

We’re making the setup phase even faster. Our updated intelligent analysis engine now automatically detects the source language of your CSV and pre-fills your translation settings.

For advanced users, we’re adding support for “Language Columns”, allowing the AI to read the source or target language for every single row directly from your CSV. This is ideal for multi-lingual datasets where different rows require different translation pairs.

Custom Translation Instructions

Pass optional formatting or context instructions for each batch to guide the AI for more accurate results.

Need to keep specific HTML tags or follow a certain tone? You can now provide custom instructions for each batch of translations to ensure the AI captures your specific requirements.

Platform Dark Mode

A sleek new dark theme is now available, with an easy-to-use toggle in your settings page.

Whether you prefer a light or dark aesthetic, AI Glot now adapts to your visual preference with a native dark mode.

Glossary Feature

Store and manage domain-specific terms in your own personal glossary to ensure translation consistency.

Build your glossary once and use it across all your translation batches to maintain brand voice and technical accuracy.

Google Authentication

You can now sign up and log in using your Google account for a faster onboarding experience.

Seamlessly connect your Google account to AI Glot. No more passwords to remember, just one click to get started.

Usage Tracker

Easily track your credit consumption and monitor translation volume directly from your dashboard.

Get full transparency into how your credits are being used with real-time tracking of batched translations.

Single Column Mode

Precision translation of a single column into a new or existing destination.

Focus your translation on exactly what matters. Single Column mode allows you to map a specific source column to a target column, giving you full control over where the translated content goes while keeping the rest of your CSV intact.
