Built a browser-based TMX + AI tool for technical manuals – looking for feedback

Hi all,

I work for a Czech machinery manufacturer and we translate our technical manuals into about ten languages. Buying a full CAT licence for everyone who occasionally touches a translation didn't make sense for us, so I built a small set of browser tools instead and have now made them public at aitranslator.cloud.

What they do:
- Document translator: open a DOCX, XLSX or PPTX and translate segment by segment, formatting kept. TMX matches take priority; the remaining segments go to an LLM with your glossary as binding context.
- Aligner: turns an original and its existing translation into a TMX, so old manuals become a usable memory (also in Trados).
- TMX editor and TMX merge. The merge handles the UTF-16 TMX that Trados and memoQ export, which many online tools fail on silently.
- Glossary as a plain Excel/CSV, including forbidden terms per language.

Files are processed in the browser and never uploaded to my server. Segments for MT go straight to the API with your own key.

It's not meant to replace a full CAT tool for daily professional work. It's aimed at repetitive technical text with strict terminology.

Full disclosure: I'm the developer, and it's a paid subscription with a 30-day free trial. I'm mainly interested in feedback from people who work with TMX every day: what breaks, what's missing, and whether the alignment holds up on your files.

Thanks,
Michal
