// use cases · translation

Translation at volume,
in your control.

Translate into 100+ languages, co-official languages included, with your glossary enforced.

// how it works

Your words, every language, your terms.

Glossary grounding, translation and consistency from a single OpenAI-compatible endpoint — at volume, and only inside the EU.

step 01

Ground the terminology

qwen3-embedding

Retrieve your glossary, translation memory and approved terms so domain language and brand names stay consistent — every document, every language.

step 02

Translate

deepseek-v4-flash

Into 100+ languages, co-official languages included — preserving tone, formatting, tags and placeholders. Cross-lingual, not word-for-word.

step 03

Keep it consistent

qwen3.6

Enforce terminology and style across the whole project — post-edit, lock approved terms and keep every version aligned, traceable to the source.

// drop-in

Change one line. Keep your TMS.

One chat completion, glossary enforced. Change the base URL and key and your translation pipeline runs on private EU models.

// why helmcode

Translation you don't have to send away.

Public bodies, defense and brands can't ship their documents to a US translation API just to get them localized.

Zero logs, by architecture.

Your source documents and their translations are never stored, and never train a model — not ours, not anyone's.

Processed in the EU.

Every translation runs on EU infrastructure — not on US hyperscalers subject to the Cloud Act. GDPR and AI Act native.

Co-official languages included.

100+ languages out of the box — Catalan, Galician, Basque and more — cross-lingual, with no per-language tool or per-word fee.

No caps at volume.

Translate millions of words a month; the bill is the same flat rate. Limits are RPM and concurrency per key — never total tokens.

Sovereign or on-premise.

Run on dedicated GPUs or fully on-premise — translate classified, regulated or confidential material right where it already lives.

Drops into your TMS.

OpenAI-compatible chat. Change the base URL and key; your translation management system or pipeline keeps working.

// translation faq

Translation, answered.

What localization and engineering teams ask before moving translation in-house.

Which languages do you support, including co-official ones?

100+ languages out of the box, including Spain's co-official languages — Catalan, Galician and Basque — with cross-lingual quality, not word-for-word substitution.

Can I enforce a glossary or translation memory?

Yes. Provide terminology as a system instruction and ground translation with retrieval over your glossary and translation memory, so approved terms stay consistent.

Are formatting, tags and placeholders preserved?

Yes. Instruct the model to keep markup, variables and placeholders intact, and use structured outputs when you need a guaranteed shape back.

Do you store the documents I translate?

No. Zero logs — source text and translations are never persisted and never train a model.

Can it handle high volume?

Yes. There are no token caps — limits are RPM and concurrency per API key — so you can translate millions of words on flat, predictable pricing.

Can it run on-premise for classified material?

Yes. Run on a dedicated GPU or fully on-premise inside your own datacenter — the same API and code, with documents that never leave your network.
