Why growing teams need a better CAT editor
Scaling up brings complexity
What works for a few translators often breaks down when more languages, content types, and stakeholders are involved.
Disconnected tools create extra work
Without integrated workflows and automation, managing projects means juggling emails, spreadsheets, and manual reviews.
Quality and consistency get harder to track
As volumes grow, it’s tough to ensure translations align with brand, tone, and terminology, especially across regions and vendors.
Lack of visibility slows decision-making
Many tools don’t offer the reporting or oversight needed to manage budgets, track performance, or improve processes over time.
Work online or offline without disruption
Use Phrase’s desktop CAT editor across macOS, Windows, or Linux to translate anywhere, even without a connection. Automatic sync ensures version control and continuity, with no lost work, and no downtime.
