What Melo costs

RTL-first

Not an afterthought

Everything a working translator needs

The full professional workflow, without the desktop install or the price tag.

True RTL editor

A per-segment editor built for Arabic from the ground up: bidi text, mixed-direction runs and tags that actually behave.

Translation memory

Reuse past work automatically. Import existing TMs, get matches as you type, and never translate the same sentence twice.

AI machine translation

One-click draft translations you can refine, with your TM and termbase steering the output.

Termbase & glossary

Keep terminology consistent. Insert approved terms at the cursor and get warned when you drift.

QA checks

Catch untranslated segments, tag mismatches, number errors and inconsistencies before you deliver.

Format fidelity

Round-trip XLIFF, SDLXLIFF and DOCX with inline tags and formatting preserved, so the export looks like the original.

Concordance

Search your whole translation memory for how a phrase was handled before, instantly.

Find & replace

Tag-aware find and replace across a whole project, plus filters by status and text.
