Most of the world meets language by listening, not reading — yet translation tools have long forced a choice between the written word and the spoken one. Aquilla is a browser-based translation workspace that refuses that trade-off, letting teams translate text and audio side by side against a single source, with captions and subtitles now available and video workflows on the way.^1
Aquilla is the web-based evolution of the Codex Translation Editor, carrying forward the same conviction: the human expert leads from the first word while the AI drafts and remembers rather than deciding.^1 Its flagship feature, Living Memory, turns a single correction into lasting guidance — fix a term or register once and the next draft already reflects it, so quality compounds across a project instead of the same mistake being re-fixed in every chapter.^1 Real-time checks and back-translation surface meaning as you type, and an inspectable retrieval-support signal on every cell helps reviewers prioritize their attention without ever replacing expert review.^1
Built for the long tail of the world's 7,000+ languages — including the thousands with little data and often only a single translator — Aquilla brings real AI assistance to work most tools have never been able to reach.^1 Come and See Foundation uses it to translate The Chosen toward a goal of 600 languages, reaching 125 languages for Season 1 in February 2026 and earning back-to-back Guinness World Records for the most translated streaming season.^2 Biblica's Global Publishing team moved nearly its entire resource-translation workflow onto Aquilla, updating full Spanish and Portuguese Bibles in twelve months and taking a Study Bible all the way to a print-ready PDF.^3 ETEN Innovation Lab teams using the same approach reported roughly four times faster drafting after adjusting for quality review and community involvement.^1
Aquilla is developed by Frontier R&D — the team behind Codex and the LangQuest language-data platform, led by founder and CEO Ryder Wishart.^4 It is currently in public beta and free for every translator, with paid plans planned as it grows; current plan details are on its site.^1
