Key Takeaways:
- Anonymise before you translate: Replace sensitive information with placeholders instantly.
- Privacy by design: No data storage, no risk of accidental exposure.
- Simple to use: Add source text, click the Shield icon beside the Translate button, and you’re protected.
- Supports compliance: Helps meet GDPR, HIPAA, and other global data protection standards.
As businesses increasingly turn to AI for multilingual communication, one concern remains top of mind: data privacy.
Now, MachineTranslation.com—recognised as the world’s most accurate AI translator—is taking a bold step forward with a new anonymisation feature that lets users remove sensitive information before translation begins.
Designed with legal teams, healthcare providers, compliance officers, and data-conscious enterprises in mind, this feature allows users to automatically scrub personally identifiable information (PII) from any source text.
Whether you’re translating internal reports, medical case summaries, or confidential client communications, the new anonymisation feature replaces identifiable data like names, addresses, contact details, and dates with clearly labeled placeholders (e.g., [Name1], [Phone Number1]).
Built-In Privacy, One Click Away
The anonymisation feature is directly embedded into MachineTranslation.com’s core workflow. Just paste or upload your text, then click the Shield icon—positioned to the left of the Translate button. Within seconds, the platform detects and replaces PII with unique tags that preserve readability and structure.
“You shouldn’t need to be a security expert to protect your content,” says Shashank Jain, Head of Technology at Tomedes, the global translation company that developed and operates MachineTranslation.com.
“That’s why we’ve built anonymisation directly into the translation interface. It’s fast, automatic, and doesn’t compromise the accuracy or context of your content.” Shashank said
Context-Preserving Redaction for AI Translation
The innovation lies in how the anonymisation is executed. Instead of bluntly stripping out text or replacing it with generic symbols, the system applies semantic tagging that maintains sentence structure, tone, and logical flow. This ensures the AI can still provide high-quality translations while sensitive data stays shielded.
“In AI translation, removing too much or too little can lead to inaccurate results,” explains Jain. “This model is trained to identify contextually relevant details, like whether a name is part of a signature or a legal clause, and replaces them in a way that allows the translation engine to do its job without risking exposure.”
Raising the Standard for Secure AI Workflows
This anonymisation feature builds upon MachineTranslation.com’s existing suite of privacy-first design choices: no data retention, session-based processing, and enterprise-ready API controls. Together, they form a security architecture aligned with GDPR, HIPAA, and enterprise compliance requirements.
“Security isn’t just a feature, it’s a foundation,” adds Ofer Tirosh, CEO of Tomedes.
“We’re committed to giving users the confidence to use AI without fear of privacy violations. This new feature eliminates a major barrier for industries that couldn’t previously consider automated translation because of the sensitivity of their content.”
The text anonymisation option is currently available on the English version of MachineTranslation.com and will roll out to other language versions in the coming weeks.
Why It Matters:
- Legal teams can now anonymise case files before translation without manual redaction.
- Healthcare organisations can safely translate patient records while staying HIPAA-compliant.
- Global companies gain a scalable way to protect sensitive data in multilingual workflows.
This launch marks a pivotal moment in the evolution of AI translation—one where speed, accuracy, and security no longer need to be trade-offs. With MachineTranslation.com, they work hand in hand.
