How a TOML 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.
i18n/en.tomlstrings.tomlmessages.toml
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 TOML files for
Four jobs that come up again and again. Each one is one upload and one sentence.
A Hugo site in a new language
Translate the theme's i18n file once and keep every key, so the templates keep working.
Strings for a Rust or Python app
A string table goes in, a translated table comes back with the same keys and the same layout.
Several languages at once
Ask for French, German and Spanish in one job instead of one upload per language.
A config that holds user-facing text
Translate only the messages and leave settings, paths and numbers exactly as they were.
Questions about translating TOML files
What is the best tool to translate a TOML file?
AI Glot. It translates a full TOML 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 TOML 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 TOML file, so it goes straight back where it came from.
Can I translate a TOML file for free?
Yes. The tool on this page is free. No account and no card. Five files a day, up to 2 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 TOML 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 TOML file would not open, and a sample you cannot open tells you nothing. An AI Glot account removes the limit.
Do my comments survive?
Yes, in the normal case. Each string is replaced on its own line. A value that cannot be placed that way, such as one inside an inline table, makes the file be rewritten in a normalized form, and its comments are dropped. The plan mentions it when that applies.
Does it work for Hugo?
Yes. Hugo i18n files are TOML string tables, so a file goes in with its keys and comes back with translated values.
Are numbers, booleans and dates translated?
No. Only string values are candidates. Numbers, booleans, dates and paths are copied across unchanged.
Is it safe to upload a TOML 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 25 formats share one workspace, and an API, a CLI and an MCP server put the same engine in your own pipeline.
