This includes all major languages: Italian, Spanish, German, French, Chinese (Simplified & Traditional), Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Portuguese, Russian, Dutch, Polish, Turkish, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Finnish, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Thai, Vietnamese, Indonesian, and many more. You can translate from any supported language to any other supported language. The AI auto-detects your source language or you can select it manually.

How does Ludwig Translate work?

Ludwig uses advanced AI translation models to convert your text between any supported languages with natural phrasing. The AI understands context and nuance to provide translations that sound professional, not literal word-for-word conversions. You can translate standalone text or directly within Ludwig Editor for seamless workflow integration.

What makes Ludwig Translate different from Google Translate or DeepL?

Ludwig integrates translation directly into your writing workflow. While Google Translate and DeepL are standalone tools requiring copy-paste, Ludwig works inside Editor—translate inline without switching tabs or applications. Perfect for writers who need seamless multilingual support while working on documents.

Can I translate directly in Ludwig Editor?

Yes! This is one of Ludwig's most powerful features. While writing in Editor, you can translate any text directly inline without leaving your document. Select text in any language, click the translate button, and get natural English instantly. Perfect for working with multilingual sources, collaborating with international colleagues, or writing in your second language.

How accurate are the translations?

Ludwig uses state-of-the-art AI translation models that understand context and provide natural translations, not literal word-for-word conversions. The AI is trained on professional writing across multiple languages to ensure output sounds natural. For critical documents, we always recommend having a native speaker review important translations.

Can I use this for academic writing?

Absolutely. Many international PhD students and researchers use Ludwig Translate for academic work. The AI provides natural translations suitable for scholarly writing, and the Editor integration makes it seamless to work with multilingual research sources. Always follow your institution's guidelines for translation use in academic work.

How is this different from using ChatGPT to translate?

ChatGPT can translate text, but it's a chat interface requiring manual copy-paste for each translation. Ludwig integrates translation directly into Editor—translate inline while writing without switching applications. For writers working with multilingual content, Ludwig's seamless workflow integration saves significant time compared to chat-based translation.

Is my translation data kept private?

Yes. Ludwig follows European data protection standards with servers in Italy, Germany, and France. Your texts are processed for translation but never stored permanently, sold to third parties, or used for advertising. We maintain strict data sovereignty and privacy for all users.

What does "Unlimited" usage mean?

Premium users can use Ludwig AI Chat without limitations. There are some guardrails in place to prevent abuses and to allow all users access the service effectively. Usage must adhere to our Terms of Use, which prohibits, among other things:

• Abusive usage, such as automatically or programmatically extracting data.

• Sharing your account credentials or making your account available to anyone else.

• Reselling access or using Ludwig Premium to power third-party services.

To prevent misuse, we have guardrails in place and are always working to improve our systems. This may occasionally involve a temporary restriction on your usage. We will inform you when this happens, and if you think this might be a mistake, please don't hesitate to reach out to our support team at support@ludwig.guru from the support button in the menu. If policy-violating behavior is not found, your access will be restored.
