Google Drive integration
Automate and simplify your file-based translation process with a Phrase Google Drive integration.
Automate localization directly from Google Drive
Say goodbye to manual uploads, email chains, and disconnected workflows. Experience fast, high-quality translation that’s triggered the moment content is added to your Drive folders. From documents to videos, Phrase supports 50+ file formats covering every enterprise use case.
Document translation with Google Drive
When connecting Phrase TMS to Google Drive, new or updated files in selected Google Drive folders are automatically routed to Phrase for translation.
AI translation, quality scoring, and human review (if needed) are applied based on your preferred workflow. Once complete, translations are delivered directly back to Drive, with no further manual steps required.
Video subtitling and dubbing from Google Drive
Connect Phrase Studio to Google Drive to automatically import new videos for subtitling and dubbing. Your workflows trigger instantly—creating translation and review jobs and exporting finished videos back to Drive.
This end-to-end automation enables enterprise-scale video localization, supporting hundreds of subtitled and dubbed videos each month.
From bottlenecks to automation
Transform translation requests into self-serve, automated workflows. Empower teams to trigger the translation process by simply moving a file into a dedicated Google Drive folder.

This has reduced the amount of time it takes to set up a translation project by 80%.
