Phrase TMS
The leading translation management system that
automates, translates, and manages content with
intelligence and at scale
Phrase TMS automates, translates, and manages content with intelligence and at scale.
Incorporating intuitive workflows, cost control and sophisticated reporting, our TMS platform is designed to improve customer engagement and support global growth. (It also happens to be the highest-ranked translation management system on the market.*)
Dedicated workspace for management and control
Being cloud-based, all users access a single user interface hosting the latest versions of content. This provides full visibility for the team or language service provider (LSP), so project momentum is tracked, and resources optimized. Feedback, comments, screenshots and approvals are all shared securely within the TMS workspace.
Built for scale with machine translation and AI
Phrase TMS harnesses AI to automate repetitive tasks, select the best machine translation engine for each project, and determine which content is likely to require a human hand. Together with the automated QA and scoring processes, this contributes significantly to reducing time and translation costs. The platform also stores your previous translations within its Translation Memory (TM), minimizing overheads for similar jobs in the future.
Protect your brand and tone of voice
You can create, evolve and protect Term Bases (brand-owned, reusable translation ‘glossaries’) directly within the TMS platform. Stored securely, these are fed into the translation engines and used to train your AI. The result: better brand consistency and quality as content is disseminated into multiple territories. This is of particular benefit to large organizations, marketers, and localization teams.
Genuinely Vendor Agnostic
Phrase TMS empowers your team to work with any language service provider (LSP), rather than forcing our partners on them. Unusually, you can reduce admin by assigning multiple vendors to a translation job, effectively overseeing a bidding process. Once selected, a vendor can add assets, like translation memories or term bases, and assign linguists in a transparent, collaborative workspace.
