AI translation, terminology and search – inside Trados Studio and memoQ, and across the rest of Windows
Supervertaler is professional translation software built by Michael Beijer, a Dutch-English patent and technical translator.
A Trados Studio plugin (Studio 2022, 2024 and 2026) that brings TermLens inline terminology, an AI Assistant, Batch Translate and AI Proofreader, SuperSearch cross-file search and replace, SuperMemory, and an MCP server for Claude Desktop directly into the Trados editor. MultiTerm .sdltb support included.
Source-available, single paid plan, 14-day free trial – no credit card, no sign-up.
Part of both plugins, which read the same banks. A place to write down the things about a client that you cannot look up: which term they insist on, what they rejected last time, how they want things phrased. Each memory bank is three Markdown files you edit yourself – a brief, a terminology table, and style rules – plus a shared bank of house defaults that any client bank can override. The AI reads the active bank on every translation, and a bank stays small enough to read start to finish, which is what makes a wrong entry findable.
It complements your termbases and translation memories rather than replacing them: they hold the terms and the wordings, SuperMemory holds the reasoning. In the Trados plugin, a team can keep its banks and prompts in one shared folder.
Ships with the plugin. It connects Claude Desktop, and any other MCP client, to the Trados Studio session you have open – so an AI assistant can read your active project, search your TMs and termbases, run QA checks, write segments back, and record what you decide together in your memory banks.
A memoQ plugin (memoQ 11 and 12): an LLM machine-translation engine that learns from the segments you confirm and drafts its own project prompt from the document, a terminology provider that puts your own glossary into memoQ’s Translation results and into the AI’s prompt as preferred or forbidden terminology, SuperMemory, and an MCP bridge so Claude Desktop can translate your live memoQ project.
Confirm a term once and the rest of the document follows it – no configuration, no retraining, just your own approved choices fed forward. Bring your own API key (Anthropic, OpenAI or Google) – or none at all: with Claude Desktop connected, Claude reads the document, stages translations, and they flow into the grid when you press Pre-translate, billed to your Claude subscription. Prompts come from the same library the Trados plugin uses.
memoQ gives a plugin no window and no editor access, so this is a different shape of tool from the Trados plugin: what reaches your document goes through memoQ’s own MT engine and terminology pane, and Claude’s work only through your own hands. Prompts, memory banks and glossaries are managed in a companion window beside memoQ. The docs say plainly which Trados capabilities memoQ can and cannot have.
Released on 28 September 2026. Download the installer from supervertaler.com/download/memoq; a 14-day trial starts by itself, and one Supervertaler licence covers both plugins. The add-in is not yet signed by memoQ, so memoQ may ask once whether to load it.
The system-wide toolbox. The one Supervertaler tool that does not live inside a CAT tool: press a key anywhere in Windows and act on whatever is selected, in any application – a CAT editor, a browser, a PDF, an email.
A clipboard manager with searchable history, a snippet library, text expansion and autocorrect, translation through several MT engines and LLMs at once with the results side by side, terminology and web searches, text conversions, and AI prompts over the selection.
Built in AutoHotkey v2. Windows only, no runtime, no install step.
In early development. The repository is public and the tool runs, but there is no release yet.

A free, open-source standalone CAT tool: editor, AI translation, terminology and translation memory in one place, plus tools that work system-wide in any application – a clipboard manager, SuperLookup, QuickTrans, and voice dictation.
In active development again. After a quiet spell while the Trados and memoQ plugins took shape, Workbench is getting regular releases again, with new features as well as fixes. It runs on Windows, macOS and Linux.
Supervertaler Sidekick, which works outside any CAT tool, has a clipboard manager of its own.
