TranslateInDesign
A standalone SaaS for localizing InDesign files. Upload an IDML, get a translated IDML back — styles, anchors, and layout tags preserved, overflow warnings included. No plugin. No Creative Cloud dependency.
[ What it is ]
Drop an IDML into the browser. TranslateInDesign translates the copy at the XML layer, so paragraph styles, character styles, anchored objects, and layout tags all survive the round-trip. You get the translated IDML back, ready to place. It runs in the browser — nothing to install, no ExtendScript, no Creative Cloud login.
[ How it works ]
- XML-level accuracy — styles, anchors, and layout tags are preserved at the markup layer.
- Overflow detection — flags copy that expands by more than ~20%, before it breaks the layout.
- Free pre-flight — preview the first ten rows before you pay.
- Absolute privacy — files process in memory and auto-purge within 24 hours.
[ Who it's for ]
- Agencies, studios, and publishers doing precision localization at scale.
- Production teams tired of rebuilding the same document once per language.
- In-house design teams who want the translation round-trip to stop breaking their layout.
[ Pricing ]
$4.99 base per file + $1.00 per 1,000 characters translated. First ten rows preview free.
