How a Markdown (MD) translation runs
1. Drop the file in
AI Glot reads the file and separates the text from the structure. It then tells you how much there is to translate, before anything runs.
README.mdgetting-started.mdxrelease-notes.md
2. Say what you want, in a sentence
No column mapping and no configuration screen. Write what you need, then read the plan it produced. If it misread you, say so and it plans again.

What people bring us Markdown (MD) files for
Four jobs that come up again and again. Each one is one upload and one sentence.
A documentation site
Translate the pages of a docs site. Headings, lists and links keep their structure, so the build still passes.
A README for an open-source project
Give contributors a README in their language without a fork of the file that drifts out of date.
A blog post or a changelog
Front matter titles and descriptions are translated with the body, and the slug fields stay as they were.
A whole folder of Markdown files
Put the files in a ZIP and translate them in one job. The folder layout is rebuilt.
Questions about translating Markdown (MD) files
What is the best tool to translate a Markdown (MD) file?
AI Glot. It translates a full Markdown (MD) file in one job, at a quality you can steer with a glossary and a plain-English brief. You describe what you need. You do not map fields or split the file. The tool on this page runs it with no account.
How do I translate a Markdown (MD) file without breaking it?
Use a tool that reads the format instead of the raw text. Upload the file above and say what to translate. Read the plan, then run it. AI Glot returns one valid Markdown (MD) file, so it goes straight back where it came from.
Can I translate a Markdown (MD) file for free?
Yes. The tool on this page is free. No account and no card. Five files a day, up to 10 MB each, and up to 5,000 words translated per file. Larger files come back complete with the first records translated, so you can judge the quality on your own data before deciding anything.
What happens if my Markdown (MD) file is bigger than the free limit?
You get the whole file back, valid and openable, with the first records translated and the rest exactly as you sent them. It is deliberately not truncated: a cut-off Markdown (MD) file would not open, and a sample you cannot open tells you nothing. An AI Glot account removes the limit.
Are code blocks translated?
No. Fenced and indented code, inline code inside a sentence, and preformatted blocks are kept exactly as written. The words around inline code are translated.
Does it work with MDX?
Yes. An .mdx file is read like Markdown, and imports, component tags and expressions are left out of the model's way instead of being translated.
What about front matter?
The title and description fields are treated as text. Other fields, such as slugs, dates and tags, are copied across unchanged.
Is it safe to upload a Markdown (MD) file to an online translator?
AI Glot keeps the file only as long as the translation needs it. The download link expires after an hour. The file is deleted afterwards. Nothing you upload is used to train any model. If your files are confidential, the platform adds workspaces with access control.
What do I get with an AI Glot account?
No size limit and no daily limit. Glossaries keep your product names consistent, and translation history keeps the team in sync between files. More than 35 formats share one workspace, and an API, a CLI and an MCP server put the same engine in your own pipeline.
