About Phrase

We’ve been empowering people to form deeper connections since 2010 by reaching others
in their native languages through simple, collaborative translation.

Why Phrase?

Our mission

At Phrase, we believe when you unlock language, you unlock opportunity.

That’s why we’re pushing the boundaries of language technology through automation and artificial intelligence to power high quality, scalable, and fast localization for teams of any size.

We aim to open the door to global business by giving everybody access to the content they need in the language they speak.

Our story

Phrase traces back to 2010, when Memsource launched in Prague as a translation management platform. In 2021, Memsource acquired Phrase, a developer-first localization tool founded in Hamburg.

In 2022, the two brands unified under the Phrase name, combining enterprise-grade translation management with software localization built for modern development teams.

Our values

We’re committed to the principles that guide our team and our work culture.

Fully embrace diversity

We love being a diverse team spanning the globe and believe to our core that diversity is a moral, social, and commercial good. We’re committed to acknowledging the nuance of this topic, and are passionate about having real conversations to move it forward.

One Team, Built on Respect

Respect is at the root of every relationship at Phrase—we respect each other, we respect our customers, and that respect drives trust. It takes all of us, working as one team across the company to be successful. A successful team requires people to assume good intent, be respectfully challenging, debate the facts not the person, be helpful, share key insights — and above all, be accountable to one another.

We show up to make a difference

Every person at Phrase should make a difference. We strongly encourage proactivity to drive high performance and boldness with experimentation to push our boundaries. Fearless innovation means being distinctive, having the freedom and courage to fail, always striving to be better than yesterday.
