What use cases does WRITER currently support?

Moving flexibly between languages, whether translating content or generating new content from scratch, offers powerful benefits:

  • Shorten sales cycles by creating personalized outbound emails in your prospect's language

  • Accelerate time to market by quickly translating product descriptions into multiple language

  • Improve customer satisfaction by enabling support teams with digital assistants that answer questions in local languages

So what kind of work can you do in WRITER today?

Translate English content into another language:

WRITER can translate English-language content seamlessly into over 30 languages.

Translate non-English content into English

You can ask WRITER to translate a source: anything from copy-pasted text to a URL to a PDF. Upload your source, then tell WRITER which language to translate the source into.

Using English-language prompts to generate non-English content

WRITER doesn't just translate: it can generate content of its own in over 30 languages, even when your original prompt is written in English.

Multi-lingual content generation is especially helpful when you're moving quickly. For example, if you've received a support ticket written in another language, you can use WRITER to understand what the customer is asking, then use WRITER to compose a response in the customer's own language:

Using non-English prompts to generate content in the same language

Work entirely within the language of your choice! WRITER can accept commands and prompts in non-English languages, then generate answers and content in that same language. By default, a prompt submitted in another language will generate outputs in that same language unless otherwise specified. You can also include sources written in the same language as well:
