Your first project

The first time you use Aquilla, a short onboarding wizard walks you from a welcome screen through signing in to creating your first project — a few quick steps, and you’re in.

Create or join

Create a new project if you’re starting fresh — you’ll pick a name and the source and target languages (see below).
Join an existing project if a teammate sent you an invite link. Opening the link signs you in (or registers you) and drops you straight into the project with the role they granted. See Inviting people.

Finishing setup

Once you have a project open, a Project setup checklist (you can reopen it any time from the workspace) walks you through a few quick steps so the AI, voice, and your team are ready before you dive in:

Set translation instructions — a short system prompt that shapes the copilot’s tone and style for everyone on the project.
Invite collaborators — share a link so translators and reviewers can join.
Configure voice & transcription — pick a text-to-speech engine and you’re set for listening and transcribing.

The checklist shows how many steps you’ve completed and never pressures you to finish — skip anything that doesn’t apply yet.

Creating a new project

Choose Create project and you’ll be asked for:

a project name,
a source language (what you’re translating from),
a target language (what you’re translating into), and
optionally, a project shape — including linking to a shared source project (see below).

When you’re done, the project appears on your Projects page with its file count and a health ring showing overall progress.

For the full set of options, see Creating a project.

Joining via an invite link

If someone shares an Aquilla invite link with you:

Click the link.
Sign in, or register if you don’t have an account yet.
You’re added to the project automatically, with the role baked into the link (viewer, reviewer, contributor, and so on).
