About SYSTRAN

SYSTRAN has been building machine translation for more than fifty years and now sells neural translation mainly to companies and public bodies with strict security needs. Its products range from SYSTRAN Translate Pro, a secure online tool for translating text and documents in dozens of file formats, to Enterprise plans for teams, a developer API, private-cloud hosting, and SYSTRAN Server for fully on-premise deployment where documents must never leave the organisation's network. A model studio lets customers tune translation models to their own domain and terminology. Pricing is by subscription, with a free trial on the online plans and quotes for server deployments. The draw is control and certified security rather than raw fluency: for everyday text, DeepL or Google can sound more natural, and the language list is shorter. It is aimed at legal, defence, finance and life sciences users more than individuals.

Best for: Enterprises and public bodies that need on-premise or private-cloud machine translation.
