What is Tolayda?
Tolayda is an online academic translation service specifically designed for universities and researchers, allowing for the conversion of various academic texts, such as Word (.docx) research articles, theses, and dissertations, from 16 different languages—including Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Spanish, and Turkish—into English, while displaying both the original and translated content side by side. The platform ensures the retention of crucial formatting elements like headings, paragraphs, figure captions, and table cells, enabling users to translate entire documents or select specific sections, modify translations, or utilize language-specific glossaries, all while maintaining a record of their editing history. Collaboration is made easy as colleagues from the same institution can work together on edits, and instructors can access a locked, read-only version of documents. Users can also export their finalized translations in Word format seamlessly. The service operates under institutional licensing, granting eligible students with a UK university .ac.uk email address access to a limited free account, enhancing accessibility for a wider audience. Importantly, all translations are processed on Tolayda's proprietary servers located in the UK, ensuring compliance with EU infrastructure standards for data handling. This emphasis on local data management not only strengthens the platform's commitment to privacy and security for academic users but also fosters trust in the handling of sensitive academic materials.
