Hey Product Hunt 👋
I built TranslateInDesign because I got tired of watching designers fight the same losing battle every time a document went multilingual: copy text out of InDesign → paste it into a translation tool → paste it back in → re-apply every style → discover that the German version just destroyed the layout.
The tools we reach for are generalists. They treat an IDML file like a Word doc. But InDesign files are design ecosystems — styles, anchors, paragraph tags, character overrides, all of it load-bearing.
So we built something opinionated:
XML-level accuracy. We translate at the markup level. Your styles, anchors, and layout tags survive the round-trip, exactly where you left them.
Overflow detection. German runs ~30% longer than English. Chinese is shorter. We flag translations that expand beyond 20% of the original text box — before they break your layout.
Free pre-flight. Preview the first 10 rows free. Verify tone and terminology before you pay a cent.
Privacy by default. Files process in memory. Zero logging of content. Everything auto-purges in 24 hours — critical for agencies handling pre-release, NDA, or regulated material.
Pricing: $4.99 platform fee per file + $1.00 per 1,000 characters translated. That's it. No seats, no subscriptions, no minimum commit.
🎁 Early bird offer: The first 100 people get 100% off — use code EARLYBIRD100 at checkout. Full file, full translation, zero cost. After 100 redemptions, standard pricing applies.
We've been in private beta with a handful of studios and publishing teams. Today it's open.
Would love your honest feedback — especially from designers who've been burned by localization workflows before. What breaks for you? What would you add next?
