Catapult

Need a translated file on a tight deadline? Open Catapult, drop your document, pick your target languages, and hit go. The app keeps the file type you started with, so you can download the result as the same DOCX, PPT, XLSX, or other format you uploaded. You can run one file or a whole folder, and you never have to convert anything by hand. It works the same way on your laptop, tablet, or phone, so you can start a job at your desk and approve it on the move.

Set up a shared workspace for your group when you’re working with clients or across departments. Create project folders, upload source files, and invite teammates by email. Give view-only or edit rights per person to keep sensitive material locked down. Because files live in secure cloud storage, the latest version is always in one place—no more hunting through email threads. A typical cycle looks like this: the owner uploads a DOC or ODT brief, selects French and Spanish, shares the job with two reviewers, they check the output and make adjustments, and the owner downloads the final copies for delivery.

Catapult handles the day-to-day formats you already use. Marketing can translate campaign decks (PPT) and price sheets (XLSX). Writers can localize articles and guides (DOC, DOCX, RTF, TXT). Web teams can process site content (HTML or WIX exports) without stripping tags. Video producers can convert captions and subtitles (SRT) for new regions. Publishers and designers can move brochures and catalogs (IDML) through the same pipeline. Even scattered assets from past projects—notes in ODT, transcripts in TXT—can be dropped in, processed together, and returned ready for distribution.

To move faster, batch files by market and apply the same language set to all of them in one pass. Save time by reusing your folder structure each quarter or per client, and keep a single “Ready” folder where stakeholders can fetch approved deliverables. If you work solo, use Catapult as your private repository; if you work as a small team, rely on access controls to share only what each person needs. The result is a simple, repeatable workflow: upload, choose languages, share, review, download—done in minutes, not days.
