As UK businesses increasingly embrace AI to streamline translation, a critical question arises: Can AI tools be trusted with confidential material?
Today, MachineTranslation.com offers a clear answer with the launch of Secure Mode, a new privacy-focused innovation designed for data-conscious professionals.
Developed by Tomedes, a global language service provider founded in 2007, MachineTranslation.com is one of the most accurate AI translators. The platform brings together the top-performing machine translation engines and large language models (LLMs) into one secure, easy-to-use interface. The addition of Secure Mode underscores its commitment to safeguarding sensitive information across sectors.
With one click, Secure Mode ensures that only SOC 2-compliant AI engines process your text. This offers peace of mind to users working with regulated or high-stakes content, from legal contracts and NHS records to financial audits and internal policies.
“Our clients, particularly those in legal, healthcare, and financial services, tell us that data protection is their top concern when using AI translation,” says Emilyn Sinamban, Global Customer Success Manager at Tomedes.
“Secure Mode was developed to address this directly. It removes uncertainty, showing clearly which AI engines meet the highest standards. That clarity builds trust.”
Privacy-First Translation in One Click
Once activated, Secure Mode automatically disables or greys out any non-compliant AI sources. There’s no need to audit engines manually. MachineTranslation.com has already done the vetting, ensuring peace of mind and reducing risk for end-users.
“Not all AI is created equal. Secure Mode removes the guesswork. While many platforms treat privacy as a secondary feature, we’ve built it into the foundation,” explains Shashank Jain, Head of Technology at Tomedes.
By clearly labeling the AI engines that comply with SOC 2 standards, users gain the assurance that their content is processed only by platforms that meet the strictest privacy and data-handling protocols. It removes any ambiguity, particularly useful for legal, healthcare, and financial sectors where compliance is paramount.
Designed for Industries Where Privacy Matters
Secure Mode is tailor-made for UK businesses where confidentiality and compliance are non-negotiable:
Legal Sector
Translate contracts, court filings, solicitor-client communications, and compliance documents while protecting sensitive client information. The legal field deals with a large volume of highly confidential information, and Secure Mode offers the clarity and control necessary for peace of mind.
Healthcare and Life Sciences
Patient records, clinical trial data, pharmaceutical documentation, and communications with NHS and private medical providers require exacting levels of data protection. Secure Mode ensures that translation activities stay within strict regulatory boundaries such as GDPR and HIPAA.
Finance and Banking
Financial institutions rely on precision and discretion. From risk assessments and audit reports to client statements and regulatory submissions, Secure Mode ensures these critical assets remain private during multilingual processing.
Government and Nonprofits
When working with sensitive public policy or personal information, government departments and nonprofits must guarantee the security of translated documents. Secure Mode provides a reliable, secure path to localization without risking breaches.
Retail and Technology Sectors
From intellectual property and marketing strategies to launch plans and internal memos, commercial entities have plenty to protect. Secure Mode keeps your assets private when expanding into international markets.
Even individuals benefit. Students translating academic records or job applicants working on their CVs can trust Secure Mode to protect their personal information.
“AI translation should never come at the expense of data security,” says Rachelle Garcia, Head of AI.
“Secure Mode is part of our ongoing effort to make the world’s most accurate AI translator also the most trustworthy. Accuracy and privacy should go hand in hand. You shouldn’t have to choose between speed and safety.”
Built-In Safeguards for the Privacy-Conscious
Secure Mode is just one part of MachineTranslation.com’s privacy-first approach. The platform includes a comprehensive set of safeguards:
No Data Retention or Training Reuse
Unlike many AI platforms that use user data to train models, MachineTranslation.com guarantees that user data is not stored or reused for training. This makes the platform compliant with data protection frameworks like GDPR.
Expiring URLs and Session-Level Protection
Each translation session is tied to a temporary URL that expires quickly. This limits exposure and ensures users control the lifespan of their data.
Anonymisation Engine
Users can automatically mask sensitive data such as names, emails, account numbers, and phone numbers before translation. This is essential for maintaining confidentiality in professional documents.
Private API Integrations
For businesses that require even greater control, MachineTranslation.com offers secure API options that allow private, behind-the-firewall translation workflows. This is particularly useful for enterprises that process large volumes of documents.
Optional Human Verification
For use cases that require 100% accuracy, the platform offers Human Verification by professional linguists. This hybrid AI + human workflow is ideal for publications, compliance documents, or sensitive content.
Segmented Bilingual View
Instead of scrolling through long blocks of text, the platform segments translations line by line. This makes it easier to review translations thoroughly, improving both precision and quality.
“Secure Mode is a reflection of how MachineTranslation.com was designed from the ground up, with user trust and data protection at the core. In fields where privacy cannot be compromised, tools must meet real-world standards. This feature helps ensure that translation is not only fast and accurate, but also secure by default.” Ofer Tirosh, CEO of Tomedes
