Multiple Quality Layers, One Translated Website

MotaWord Active doesn't just run your content through a machine translation engine and call it done. It combines machine translation, translation memory, glossary enforcement, and professional human review into a system where each layer improves the next.

Multiple Quality Layers, One Translated Website

Machine Translation as the Starting Point

Every new string on your website gets machine-translated automatically. This gives you instant coverage in every language from day one. But machine translation is the floor, not the ceiling. It's the first layer, not the last.

Machine Translation as the Starting Point

Translation Memory: Never Translate the Same Thing Twice

Every translation, whether machine-generated or professionally reviewed, is saved to your translation memory (TM). When the same phrase appears on another page or in another project, the TM serves the existing translation instead of running MT again. Your translations get more consistent over time, not less. TM is shared across your entire MotaWord account, so work done on your website benefits your documents, software, and other projects too.

Translation Memory: Never Translate the Same Thing Twice

Glossary Enforcement

Upload your key terms, brand names, and product terminology. The glossary is enforced in both machine and professional translations. "MotaWord Active" stays "MotaWord Active" in every language where it should.

  • Upload terms one by one or in bulk
  • Multi-language support with source and target terms side by side
  • Enforced across machine translation and professional review



For glossary management, see Dashboard.

Glossary Enforcement

Professional Human Review Where It Matters

Not every page needs the same quality level. Your homepage hero and pricing page probably deserve professional review. Your blog archive and user-generated content might be fine with MT only. MotaWord Active lets you choose per page, per section, or per language.

Quality Indicators You Can Act On

Your dashboard shows the MT vs. professional review ratio for every page and every language. Combined with traffic data from Analytics, you can see exactly where to invest. High-traffic pages with low review coverage are your priorities.

Here's how it plays out: a new string appears on your site. The engine checks TM first. If there's a match, it uses that. If not, MT generates a translation with glossary terms enforced. The translation is cached for instant delivery. If you order professional review, the translator starts from the MT output (not from scratch), applies glossary terms, and the reviewed version replaces the MT in your TM. Next time that string appears anywhere, the professional version is served automatically.

The Layers Work Together

What Powers the Machine Translation

MotaWord Active uses continuously updated MT systems across 65+ languages. The system is tuned for web content: short strings, UI labels, marketing copy, product descriptions. Not a generic translation API bolted on, but a system designed for the kinds of text that appear on websites.

What Powers the Machine Translation

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Machine translation is included in every plan, including the free tier. Your content is translated automatically the moment Active is installed.

Yes. You can disable machine translation entirely or per section. Pages without professional translations will remain in the source language until reviewed.

TM stores every translation. When the same phrase appears again, anywhere on your site or in any other MotaWord project, the stored translation is used instead of translating it again. This reduces both MT usage and professional translation word counts.

Yes. Glossary terms are enforced across all translation types. Machine translations respect your glossary, and professional translators see glossary terms highlighted during review.

Active detects content changes automatically. Changed strings are re-translated using the same quality layers. If the change is minor, TM may provide a close match. If it's significant, MT generates a fresh translation, and you can send it for professional review if needed.
