Feature
Translations that sound like you.
One toggle applies your organization's writing style to every file translation. Add tone controls and glossary enforcement, and TranslateX stops producing generic output and starts producing your documents: personalized translation that understands your organizational context, built on Lisan's writing-assistant heritage.
The problem
Accurate is not the same
as sounding like you.
A generic engine can translate your press release correctly and still make it sound like it came from somewhere else. Institutions do not publish "correct". They publish in a voice.
One toggle
Apply your organization's writing style when translating files.
That sentence is a real switch in TranslateX, not a slogan. Turn it on and every file translation in the workspace follows your organization's writing style: the phrasing your communications team uses, the formality your legal team expects, the conventions your published documents already follow.
This is Lisan's writing-assistant heritage at work. Lisan has spent years teaching software what institutional writing should sound like, in Arabic and in English, and TranslateX brings that same understanding to translation. The output is not just converted between languages; it is written the way your organization writes.
- A workspace-wide setting, applied to every file translation
- Works alongside glossaries and translation memory, not instead of them
- Built on Lisan's writing-assistant technology
One switch, workspace-wide: every file translated at Al Dana Holdings comes back sounding like Al Dana Holdings.
Language governance
Three layers of control,
one consistent voice.
Style governance is the top layer of a stack. Glossaries decide the words, translation memory decides the repeated sentences, and the style guide decides how everything else is written.
Terms: the glossary
One approved translation per term, enforced on every job. Names, titles, and technical vocabulary never drift.
Glossary and memory →Sentences: the memory
Approved segments are reused exactly, so boilerplate and recurring clauses stay word-for-word identical across documents.
How reuse works →Voice: the style guide
Everything the glossary and memory do not pin down is written in your organization's style, with the tone you set.
Applied to every file →Tone controls
Formal for the ministry.
Warmer for the newsletter.
Not every document should sound the same, even inside one organization. Tone controls let you set how the translation reads: the measured, institutional register of a board pack, or the plainer, warmer register of a public announcement. Same engine, same terminology, different voice where it matters.
At Al Dana Holdings, Reem Al-Suwaidi keeps corporate communications formal and institutional, while Khalid Mansour's legal documents run through the same workspace with the glossary doing the heavy lifting. The point of governance is that these are decisions someone made once, not accidents that happen per document.
- Tone controls for how translations read
- Personalized translation that understands your organizational context
- Decisions set by admins, applied for everyone
أعلنت دانة القابضة اليوم عن نتائجها المالية للربع الثالث.

وأكد مجلس الإدارة التزامه بخطة النمو المعتمدة.
The Board of Directors reaffirmed its commitment to the approved growth plan.
وتتوقع المجموعة إتمام الصفقة قبل نهاية العام.
The Group expects to complete the transaction before year end.
Reem's team reads output that already follows the house style, so review is confirmation, not rewriting.
Why it matters
Review gets faster when the draft
already sounds right.
The cost of a wrong-voiced translation is not embarrassment, it is time: reviewers rewriting sentence after sentence that was technically correct.
Less rewriting in review
When the machine output already follows the house style, reviewers confirm instead of rewriting. Segment statuses in the editor make the difference visible: more accepted, fewer edited.
Consistent across languages
An organization that publishes in Arabic and English needs both to sound like the same institution. Style governance applies in both directions of the flagship pair, and across every language TranslateX supports.
Everywhere you translate
The style guide follows the workspace, whether a file arrives by right-click, through the Office add-ins, or from a screen capture exported as a document.
Frequently asked questions
What does the style guide setting actually do?
It applies your organization's writing style when translating files: phrasing, register, and conventions follow how your organization writes, rather than a generic machine voice. It is a workspace setting, so it applies to every file translation once enabled.
How is this different from a glossary?
A glossary pins specific terms to one approved translation. The style guide governs everything the glossary does not: how sentences are phrased and how formal the writing is. They work together, and translation memory adds sentence-level reuse on top. See glossary and memory.
What are tone controls?
Settings that shape how the translation reads, from formal and institutional to plainer and warmer. Terminology stays governed by the glossary either way; tone controls change the register of the writing around it.
Where does this capability come from?
From Lisan's writing-assistant heritage. Lisan builds AI that understands institutional writing in Arabic and English, and TranslateX applies that same understanding to translation, which is why it can produce output in your voice instead of a generic one.
Does style governance work for Arabic?
Yes, and that is the hard part done properly. Arabic institutional register is its own discipline, and TranslateX was engineered Arabic-first. See Arabic and RTL excellence for what that means in practice.
Translate the document. Keep the design.
Right-click a file, work inside Office, or press F6 on anything on screen. TranslateX returns the same document in the other language: fonts, tables, and layout intact, terminology on brand.
