Built for studying abroad in English

What international students need that generic tools miss

International students write high-stakes essays in a second language, under detectors. Diglot handles drafting, corrections, and an Authorship Certificate.

Step 1

From your language to an essay that lands

Think it through in your native language, translate the passages you’re stuck on, and refine the English right beside the source — instead of ferrying paragraphs between Google Translate, Grammarly, and a Word file.

Step 2

High-stakes essays, lower panic

Personal statements, statements of purpose, and scholarship essays get structure and register help built for second-language writers, so an admissions reader hears a confident applicant — not a translated one.

Step 3

A record of how you wrote it

AI detectors flag international students far more than native speakers. Diglot logs how you actually wrote each document into a signed history, so if a professor questions it, you have concrete process evidence to show.

Before: Rough ESL Draft 45 words · Informal & Missing Articles

In this essay I will review the green spaces effect. Ferreira (2026) said that park is very good for people stress, and it is very important factor for health. But many studies have methodological problem because people choose greener places themselves.

⚠️ Informal essay opening ("In this essay I will review") ⚠️ Article omission ("park is very good") ⚠️ Weak attribution ("said that")
After: Diglot Academic Register 38 words · Scholarly rigor & APA

Access to urban green space is increasingly evaluated as a public-health variable rather than an amenity. Ferreira et al. (2026) demonstrated that proximity to maintained parkland significantly correlates with reduced psychological distress, though self-selection bias remains an empirical limitation.

✓ Scholarly passive/objective framing ✓ Correct academic vocabulary ("empirical limitation") ✓ Integrated APA citation formatting

The Editing Flow

One connected workflow from raw draft to final deliverable

Move from bilingual rough ideas to polished English in one calm flow instead of stitching together separate tools.

Step 1

Draft in your first language

Capture the idea without forcing perfect English, keeping your native-language source in the same editor as the English you are building.

Step 2

Translate and refine into English

Translate passages inline and polish the English side by side, so your essay or application reads naturally instead of translated.

Step 3

Structure the high-stakes documents

Use register and structure guidance for personal statements, statements of purpose, and scholarship essays calibrated for non-native writers.

Step 4

Finish with a record of how you wrote it

Your writing process is recorded into an Authorship Certificate: a signed record of how the document was written that you can share if a question ever comes up.

The slips your first language puts in your English

  • Thank you for your comprehension

    Thank you for your understanding

    “Comprensión” is a false friend: in English it is “understanding”.

  • Actually, we use the old system

    Currently, we use the old system

    “Actualmente” means “currently”, not “actually”.

  • I assisted to the conference

    I attended the conference

    “Asistir a” means to attend; “assist” means to help.

Typical slips for each language group. Diglot flags them in your own draft and explains the habit behind each one.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before getting started.

Is Diglot good for international students specifically?

Yes — the whole thing is shaped around the international-student workflow. You draft bilingually, from your first language into English in one editor; grammar fixes come with the reason your L1 produced the error; and application documents like personal statements and SOPs get structure built for second-language writers. The Authorship Certificate also gives you a signed record of how you wrote each document, which matters because AI detectors flag ESL students more often.

Can it help with my application essays and statement of purpose?

Yes. Personal statements, statements of purpose, scholarship essays, admissions writing — Diglot gives each of them structure prompts and register guidance for non-native English. It suggests and you decide; it doesn’t generate the essay for you, which is the point when an admissions office wants your actual voice.

What if my essay is flagged as AI-written?

Diglot keeps a signed, append-only record of how you wrote each document — your Authorship Certificate. It does not change what a detector reports, but if a detector flags your work by mistake (and it happens to non-native writers more than most), that record is tamper-evident evidence of your process, and it holds up better than a Google Docs edit trail.

Is there a free plan for students?

Yes. The free plan covers bilingual editing, grammar, translation, and paraphrasing. If you’re writing a long thesis or a stack of applications, Spark ($19/mo) and Pro ($34/mo) raise the word quotas and add premium models. The Authorship Certificate is free on every plan.

Does it support my first language?

Six first languages are modeled deeply with contrastive grammar data — Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, Russian, and Arabic — and another fourteen have partial coverage. Drafting and translation work with any pair; the L1-aware explanations are sharpest for the six deeply-modeled languages.

International students carry a writing load domestic students never see: turning out high-stakes English — application essays, statements of purpose, coursework, a thesis — in a language that isn’t their first, while detectors flag non-native English at rates native speakers rarely hit. Most writing tools were built for native speakers chasing polish, so they read an international student as a careless native instead of a capable person working across two languages. Diglot starts from that reality.

You draft in your first language and cross into English in the same editor, source held in view. Each grammar correction comes with the reason your L1 caused it — a Chinese applicant’s SOP that reads translated because the tense keeps flattening, say — so the fix carries into next semester’s essays instead of resurfacing every time. Application documents get structure and register guidance meant for second-language writers.

And the documents you write in Diglot can carry an Authorship Certificate, a signed record of how each one was written, so if an AI flag ever lands on the essay that decides your admission, you have concrete process evidence to show. Free to start, with plans that stretch to thesis length.
