Home / Stacks / Translation Stack

Translation Stack.

Working translator's setup: first-pass machine translation, terminology consistency, the writing layer that catches what MT flattens. Post-editing as the business model, not the fallback.

4 tools from €49/mo. combined EU-Lens

Why this page exists

Not a top-10 list: a curated shortlist with reasons. What each tool replaces or accelerates, what it costs, and how it is verified. Every tool links to its profile with price history.

How it is maintained

Curated (and marked as such), later rated by firms that run it. Tools that miss sync get dropped; the stack stays current, or it visibly dies.

EU-Lens: on.

All prices in EUR; hosting region and DPA status shown per tool.

Terminology & queries: the consistency guard

Cross-check term lists, draft client queries, maintain glossaries.

Why here: Consistency across 100 pages is the real job; this keeps the glossary sharp.

The writing layer: what MT flattens

Style, idiom, flow checks; where machine text becomes human.

Why here: MT translates words; the tone that keeps clients is made here.

Client & glossary base: the memory
