### What is it?

MONDAECUS is an open digital platform designed to facilitate collaborative academic translation and the contextualisation of scholarly texts within multilingual teams.

### Tool ID card

- **Main purpose:** Supporting collaborative translation practices and the production of high-quality multilingual academic content.
- **Who is it for?** Publishers, editorial boards, researchers, and translators involved in Open Science.
- **Skill level:** Super accessible (and the team offers training if you need a hand!).
- **Access:** [mondaecus.com](https://mondaecus.com/) (it’s free to use, you only need to create an account)
- **Key features:** A collaborative document editor, an integrated AI Helper, and specific roles for reviewers and commentators.

### What can I do with it?

- **Work together in real-time:** Use the shared editor to translate articles or book chapters with your international peers.
- **Keep the “human” in the loop:** Use the AI Helper to speed things up, then refine the text to ensure it’s scientifically accurate.
- **Host epistemological discussions:** Use the platform’s commenting features to debate and assess content across linguistic barriers.
- **Offer multiple translations:** You can host several different translations of the same original document to see how different languages interpret the work.

### Good to know

The platform is currently in **Beta** , so it’s constantly evolving! It was born out of the OPERAS-PLUS project at the University of Coimbra. If you’re a first-time user, definitely check out their [Short User Guide](https://bit.ly/mondaecus-user-guide) to get up to speed.
