New: Glossary + Style Guide runs on the model you chose, all the way, and Claude Sonnet 5.5 and Fable 5.1 are in the list through Perplexity.
CONVERT FOR TRANSLATION, THEN BACK
Word documents, PowerPoint decks, Excel workbooks, subtitle files (.srt) and XML become XLIFF for translation in any CAT tool, then rebuild into the original format when the translation is done. Formatting, tables, footnotes, speaker notes and in-cue line breaks survive the round trip because the original file travels inside the XLIFF and the translation gets written back into it. Only confirmed segments ship their translation, so a half-finished file looks visibly half-finished instead of passing as done. Convert a whole job at once, and drop the translated XLIFFs back on the app to rebuild them all after one folder pick.
Say you've got a spreadsheet with five columns and only one needs translating: pick the source column and the translation column, and the rest never enter the XLIFF. For a Word table whose left column holds the client's own labels, one tick locks that column so it comes back untouched.
HANDLE AGENCY PACKAGES WITHOUT THE AGENCY'S TOOL
Unpack project packages (.sdlppx) to translate their files anywhere, then build the return package (.sdlrpx) the agency expects, with only the translation swapped in. Same goes for .mqxlz packages and the .glp packages GlobalLink agencies send, whose buried client instructions get surfaced right where the work starts. Embedded memories convert to TMX and the integrated termbase exports along the way.
TAME YOUR MEMORIES AND TERMBASES
Convert .sdltm memories to standard TMX. Merge TMX files. Split a client TM that mixes en-US, en-GB and bare en into one clean file per language pair. Build a TM from any two-column bilingual spreadsheet or CSV. Convert termbases (.tbx, .sdltb) to CSV and ready-to-import glossaries, term statuses included, so a term the client rejected shows up labelled as rejected instead of posing as one more valid option.
EXTRACT AND ALIGN WITH AI, ON YOUR OWN KEYS
Pull terminology and style guides out of your translation memories or source documents, with confidence scores, frequencies and definitions. Pair a document and its translation into a TMX with Document Alignment: the model only decides which sentence goes with which, the text itself is copied straight from your files, and sentences split or merged in translation get marked for you rather than glued together. Convert PDFs and scans to translatable Word documents through OCR that follows reading order, not pixel position.
Bring your own key for Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Mistral or Perplexity, whose router also serves Claude and other models on one Perplexity key. Nothing routes through anyone else's account.
PRIVACY FIRST
Your API keys stay in your Keychain and never leave your Mac. File processing happens on your Mac; AI requests go straight to the provider you chose. No analytics, no tracking, no data collection, no subscription.
Pairs with LinguaTrans, the suite's CAT editor: converted files hand off with one click, and finished translations convert back.

Glossary + Style Guide on the model you chose, all the way, and more Claude models through Perplexity.
- Glossary + Style Guide runs on the model you chose, all the way. The two style guide passes (consolidating the rules, writing the document) were fixed on Claude Haiku 5.5 whatever model you had picked, so through Perplexity they sent a plain Anthropic model id and the run failed with "model claude-haiku-5-5 is not supported"; OpenAI, Mistral and Gemini would have refused the same way. Nothing is fixed to one model any more: pick Fable 5.1 and Fable 5.1 does every pass.
- Claude Sonnet 5.5 and Claude Fable 5.1 via Perplexity are in the model list, next to Sonnet 5, Opus 5.5, Opus 5 and Fable 5.
- The gear at the bottom of the sidebar is gone. Settings is in the app menu and behind Command-comma, as in any Mac app.
