PromptLoc: A Fully Customizable AI-Powered Tool for Language Tasks
What is PromptLoc?
Developed by Edimart, PromptLoc is an interface to OpenAI that lets users process a memoQ xliff file using a custom prompt with segment-specific placeholders. Once each segment is processed, the responses can be saved into the source/target field of the xliff file, and/or exported as comments/csv depending on the task at hand.

Designed for Users
Unlike the currently available LLM-based solutions that are rigid and limited, PromptLoc puts control in the hands of the users. With the ability to set up fully custom prompts from scratch, even those with little technical expertise can tailor the tool to suit their specific needs.
Real-World Applications
PromptLoc is already making waves in real-world settings. Developed initially for our own use at Edimart, its potential quickly became apparent, prompting us to share it with the broader community. Now, other Language Service Providers and freelancers can also benefit from its capabilities.
PromptLoc not only accelerates machine translations and reduces the need for extensive post-editing, but it also automates complex preparation and quality assurance (QA) tasks. Here’s a look at how PromptLoc can be used across different stages of the translation process:
Preparation
- Segment-level language detection in multilingual documents
- Evaluation and/or improvement of alignment pairs
- Transliteration of scripts/alphabets
- Bilingual/monolingual term extraction
- Extraction of non-translatables/named entities
- Tagging of semantic content
Translation
- Machine Translation (MT) with fuzzy matches & terminology
- MT with segment-specific instructions
- MT based on a style-guide
- Revision and correction of existing translations based on special instructions or terminology
- Conversion between dialects
Quality Assurance (QA)
- Checking/applying uniform number/date formats to ensure consistency across documents
- Checking/applying uniform UI string formats for software localization
- Unit/measurement conversion for international adaptability
- Checking for missing or extra information
and more…
