Agentic translation management
Aquilla is a translation management platform where AI agents draft, remember, and coordinate while your experts steer every consequential decision. No vendor pool to babysit. Expert-in-the-loop workflows with Living Memory that learns from the work you already approved.
Why Aquilla is different
Traditional translation management systems help you manage translators—routing work to vendor pools, tracking vendor cost, and coordinating post-editing. Aquilla helps you manage translation work—agents draft with Living Memory while your experts review, correct, and authorize. You keep authority. You spend less time coordinating people you do not employ.
That is not a claim of unattended intake-to-publication. Agents handle mechanical work; qualified humans still own meaning, policy, risk, and release.
AI-powered TMS
Search results for an AI-powered translation management system mix three products. A traditional TMS routes files to vendors and may run machine translation as a side step. A connector-first localization suite pulls copy from a CMS or Git repo, translates it, and pushes it back. Fully automated publish skips the expert gate.
Aquilla is that first kind: agents draft and coordinate inside the workspace that already holds Living Memory, terminology, comments, and status. Experts still authorize meaning and release. It is not a vendor marketplace, not a connector-first localization bus, and not unattended intake-to-publication.
The loop a TMS actually runs
Phrase, Smartcat, and similar pages lead with intake-to-delivery and CMS push-back. Aquilla runs the quality loop in one workspace, then lets you take the file out when another system needs it.
Core capabilities
Memory, terminology, collaboration, quality signals, and workflow coordination—run by agents and Living Memory, authorized by your experts.
AI agents draft across text, audio, video, and images while Living Memory learns from expert decisions and applies them to later work. Context travels with the project instead of living only in exact segment matches.
Expert translators remain in authority over consequential decisions. Agents handle drafting, terminology application, and coordination; experts review, correct, and authorize. This is steering, not post-editing a vendor dump.
Living Memory turns one expert correction into standing guidance for later drafts. Terminology stays consistent across a project without a separate glossary-maintenance job.
Translators, reviewers, consultants, and project owners share one workspace with roles, comments, and status. Shared Living Memory means a decision one expert makes is available to the rest of the team.
Work text, audio, and video in one place so oral drafts, captions, and written text stay connected. Living Memory can carry decisions across those formats.
Inspectable support evidence shows which drafts have stronger or weaker backing. Reviewers can spend scarce attention where it matters instead of treating every cell the same.
Traditional TMS vs Aquilla
Both kinds of platform manage multilingual work. Traditional tools coordinate people. Aquilla coordinates work with agents and keeps experts in authority.
| Traditional TMS | Aquilla | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Route work through vendor pools and outsourcing queues | Agents draft in your workspace; experts authorize | Less vendor coordination, faster iteration |
| Post-edit machine translation or vendor output | Expert-in-the-loop: experts steer from the first draft | Authority stays with your people |
| Segment-based translation memory matching | Living Memory: context-aware learning across the project | Consistency that is not limited to exact matches |
| Separate tools for text, audio, and video | One multimodal workspace | One memory and one review surface |
| Enterprise TMS seats and annual contracts | Free plan to start; team-plan access covered for Bible-translation teams and ETEN affiliates | Honest access for mission work, without inventing a new offer |
Who uses Aquilla
Bible translation teams, humanitarian organizations, and other mission-driven groups use Aquilla to keep experts in authority while agents do the routine work. The same workspace can also carry product copy when a team already owns the meaning.
