MachineTranslation.com by Tomedes Launches Data Anonymization and DOCX Format-Preserving Downloads

by OFER TIROSH 07/05/2025

If you’ve ever needed to translate sensitive documents or maintain the formatting of your files after using an AI translation tool, you’ve likely faced some frustrating challenges. Maybe your document ended up revealing private details you didn’t want to share. Or maybe the formatting was so broken that it felt like starting from scratch. MachineTranslation.com, the advanced AI platform from Tomedes, now has two new features to solve these problems for you.

These updates are designed with your privacy, convenience, and productivity in mind. Whether you're a corporate team leader, a translator, a legal assistant, or a student, these enhancements are here to make your workflow smoother and your data more secure.

Let’s break it down.

Anonymize sensitive info in just one click

Let’s say you’re translating a document that includes someone’s full name, address, phone number, or client ID. You might not feel comfortable handing that over to any tool—even one powered by advanced AI. Now, MachineTranslation.com gives you the option to anonymize personal information with a simple click, before the translation process even starts.

What exactly gets anonymized?

Here’s what the tool can hide:

  • Names (first and last)

  • Phone numbers

  • Email addresses

  • Street addresses

  • Zip/postal codes

  • Other identifiable details like company names or license numbers

So if your document says:
"John Smith, based in New York, reached out via john.smith@email.com on January 3, 2025"
…it becomes something like:
"[Name], based in [Location], reached out via [Email] on [Date]"

All the core message stays intact, but now the file is safe to handle—even if you're just testing the translation.


How to use it

Using the anonymization feature is ridiculously simple. After you paste your text or upload your document, just click the lock icon (labeled for security) right next to the Translate button. The anonymized version appears instantly.

At this point, you can either:

  • Translate the anonymized content

  • Toggle back and view the original before confirming

But here's the catch: once you click "Translate", the anonymized version becomes permanent for that session. So make sure everything looks right before moving forward.


Why this matters to you

If you work in fields like legal translation, medical localization, or corporate HR, you’re dealing with confidential or sensitive content all the time. Even when you’re just previewing AI translations, there’s risk involved. This new feature acts as your first layer of data protection.

Think of it as an automatic redaction tool. You don’t need to manually edit out sensitive details anymore. You just upload, click, and translate securely.

Now, that’s AI translation for sensitive documents—done right.

Download in the same format you uploaded

The second update solves a problem you’ve probably encountered: formatting loss. When you upload a .DOC or .DOCX file for translation, you want it back looking the same—headings intact, tables preserved, fonts unchanged. But too often, AI tools strip that away.

With this new release, MachineTranslation.com now supports format-preserving downloads, meaning your translated document comes back in the same DOC or DOCX format, complete with its layout, headings, and structure.

How it works

Here’s what you need to know:

  1. The feature currently supports only editable .DOC or .DOCX files.

  2. It’s available exclusively under the Google translation engine for now.

  3. After translating, you’ll see a “Download in same format” button if your input met the requirements.

Upload a project proposal? A contract draft? A legal report? You’ll get the translated version ready for immediate editing—no reformatting required.

An example in action

Imagine you’ve got a five-page employee handbook in DOCX format. It includes:

  • A cover page with a company logo

  • Table of contents with links

  • Headings for each section

  • Bullet points for policies

Upload it to MachineTranslation.com, select the AI translation engine, and translate from English to French. When the download is ready, it’s still a DOCX file—with formatting that mirrors the original.

Why you’ll love it

You no longer have to waste hours fixing broken layouts. This is a game-changer for:

  • Marketing teams working on multilingual brochures

  • Law firms translating contracts without losing formatting

  • Academic institutions preparing multilingual guides or syllabi

  • Enterprise clients translating internal reports across departments

And because it maintains editable text, you can immediately go in and fine-tune translations, share drafts, or add annotations.

It’s document translation without the headache.

Why these features set MachineTranslation.com apart

You’ve got a lot of choices when it comes to online AI translation tools. But most of them force you to compromise:

  • Do you want speed or security?

  • Do you want accurate results or preserved formatting?

  • Do you want AI power or human-level quality?

With MachineTranslation.com, you don’t have to pick. These two new features prove it.

Data anonymization provides peace of mind

You get the benefits of high-speed AI translation without exposing sensitive information. You don’t need to be a GDPR expert. You just click one button. Whether you're prepping an RFP, translating survey results, or handling sensitive user data—this tool has your back.

Format-preserving downloads saves you time

Say goodbye to copy-pasting, rebuilding layouts, and tweaking margins. Your translated document is returned in the same format it arrived in. That’s a huge win for efficiency.

One platform, endless possibilities

From multilingual legal documents to international marketing materials, these features unlock more use cases than ever:

  • Run privacy-focused AI translations in seconds

  • Translate formatted DOCX reports without breaking the layout

  • Ensure your data-sensitive projects stay compliant

  • Collaborate faster with translated drafts you don’t need to reformat

All of this—on the same user-friendly platform you’ve already come to rely on.

Final thoughts

You deserve tools that work the way you do. That’s the whole idea behind these updates on MachineTranslation.com. Instead of forcing you to adapt to AI, this platform is adapting to your workflow, your files, and your security needs.

You’re not just getting a translation tool. You’re getting a privacy-first translation assistant and a format-aware document converter—all powered by some of the best AI engines in the world.

So if you’ve been juggling translation apps, privacy plugins, or document editors, now you can simplify your stack.
