How it works

Write, comment and translate, on the same page.

For writers

Write without distractions.

  • Proper typography as you type
  • Focus mode and typewriter scrolling
  • Versions you can always restore
  • Notes, tables and images
  • Poetry mode: syllables and stress, no AI
Author and editor

Edit together, in the margin.

  • Comments anchored to the passage
  • Suggested changes applied in one click
  • Turns and chapter deliveries
  • The final version, for both of you
With Alighieria

AI that helps. Not AI that writes.

  • Synonyms, antonyms and questions about a passage
  • Editorial assistant for the chapter or the whole work
  • Proofreading and fact checking, as suggestions
  • AI detection and a map of your work
  • Everything the AI generates carries our mark

For translators

Translate with the original beside you.

The original and your translation side by side, aligned paragraph by paragraph: scroll one and the other follows, and the segment you’re working on is highlighted in both. If the original changes, that segment is flagged for review.

  • Glossary with banned terms, translation memory and concordance
  • Checks without AI: numbers, punctuation and each language’s quotation marks
  • AI aids: translate a passage, ask about it, back-translate it
  • Alighieria review, with every finding as a suggestion
  • Questions for the author, bilingual DOCX and TMX memory

A translation made in Alighieria Editor? It opens in Desk beside its original, already aligned, as a starting point.

3. El río

3. The River

Nadie en el pueblo recordaba un verano tan largo. Las tardes se estiraban hasta el borde de la noche y los perros dormían a la sombra de los portales.
No one in the village remembered so long a summer. The afternoons stretched to the edge of night and the dogs slept in the shade of the porches.
Aquella tarde el río bajaba quieto. «No vuelvas», le dijo su madre —y ella volvió.
That afternoon the river ran still. “Never come back,” her mother told her—and she came back.
Julia bajó a la orilla con las sandalias en la mano. El agua estaba tibia, como si también ella hubiera pasado el día entero al sol.
Julia went down to the bank with her sandals in her hand. The water was warm, as if it too had spent the whole day in the sun.
En la otra orilla alguien había encendido una hoguera. Desde allí, la casa parecía más pequeña de lo que recordaba.
On the far bank someone had lit a fire. From there, the house looked smaller than she remembered.

11EXT. RIVERBANK — DUSK

The water runs still. JULIA (17) stops at the bank, a letter in her hand.

MOTHER (O.S.)

Don’t come back.

Julia folds the letter. Looks at the bridge. Starts walking.

JULIA

(without turning)

It’s too late for that.

For the publishing house, too.

The house invites its authors and translators, assigns an editor to each work and shares Alighieria credits. Deliveries arrive where they get edited.
