Data Transfer Guide

Immersive Translate has limited export capabilities, so data transfer requires manual preparation. First, document all custom translation preferences, frequently translated terms, and website-specific settings. Create spreadsheets with terminology in source and target languages. For translation history, note patterns in content types and quality preferences. MiraiTranslate provides robust import tools through its web interface. Upload your terminology spreadsheets to create custom dictionaries. Configure industry models based on your documented content types. While direct automated transfer isn't possible, this manual approach ensures your translation knowledge is preserved. MiraiTranslate's team can assist with bulk terminology import during onboarding.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I transfer my data from Immersive Translate to MiraiTranslate?+
Direct automated transfer isn't available due to different architectures. You'll manually export terminology and preferences from Immersive Translate, then import them into MiraiTranslate's terminology management system. Translation history requires manual documentation of patterns rather than direct transfer.
How long does migration take?+
Migration typically takes 1-2 weeks for small teams, including evaluation, setup, training, and parallel testing. Enterprise deployments with API integration may require 3-4 weeks. Solo users can complete basic migration in 2-3 days after obtaining MiraiTranslate access.
Will I lose any features switching to MiraiTranslate?+
You'll gain enterprise features but lose Immersive Translate's side-by-side browser display and multi-engine switching. MiraiTranslate specializes in Japanese-English rather than broad language support. The learning-focused features are replaced by professional terminology management and quality control tools.
Can I use both tools during migration?+
Yes, parallel use is recommended during 1-2 weeks of testing. Run both systems for critical translations to compare quality. This allows adjustment of MiraiTranslate settings while maintaining productivity. Gradually shift workflows to MiraiTranslate as confidence grows.
Is MiraiTranslate cheaper than Immersive Translate?+
MiraiTranslate is enterprise software with custom pricing, while Immersive Translate offers freemium personal use. For businesses needing Japanese-English accuracy, MiraiTranslate provides better value through specialized models and terminology management, but costs more than Immersive Translate's premium tier.
