Document translation

also known as file-based localization or file translation.
Award-winning platform
Based on the authentic reviews of hundreds of verified users, this makes us
the trusted leader in helping you open the door to global business.
Automated translation workflows
Make the most out of Phrase with our many out-of-the-box integrations to automate workflows. Our integrations can monitor a specific folder, e.g. in Google Drive. As soon as a new file is added there, the integration triggers the translation process. The finished translation is then synced back to your Google Drive folder.
Instant quotes
Provide a submitter portal to all departments with translation needs. That way, your co-workers can upload a file, get an instant quote, and are notified when the translation is finished.
Translation memory
Phrase TMS identifies 101% translation memory matches. This means that not only the copy is matching exactly, but also that previous and subsequent segments match. 101% matches can be marked as completed automatically, so that translators don’t spend time on them.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Here to field your questions on document translation
Are repetitions in one document populated immediately?
Yes, the translation memory in Phrase TMS works in real-time. This means that repetitions will be populated automatically as soon a segment is set to completed.
Is there an in-context preview for document translation?
Phrase TMS provides an in-context preview for most document file formats, making it easy for translators to translate accurately. Seeing a preview of the entire document also enables linguists to do transcreation instead of translation.
How can I handle specialized translation for certain domains?
In Phrase TMS, it’s easy to set up automated workflows for specialized translation. You can create project templates with customized workflow steps and assigned translation providers. That way, you can ensure that legal translations, for example, are always translated by a preselected, certified provider and undergo additional review.

How FunPlus Built a Scalable Global Content Engine That Pays for Itself Ten Times Over
Every day, the FunPlus content team manages updates across multiple live games and millions of players. In just three years, that team restructured its content operation into a connected, data-led system that runs with speed, accuracy, and control. Using the Phrase Platform, the gaming company automated repetitive tasks, integrated key systems, and introduced AI-powered quality assurance to deliver global releases faster and more efficiently to players everywhere. The 17-person team now handles 30% more content with no added headcount and 20% less manual effort per task. Savings from automation and AI now outweigh the platform cost by roughly ten times, turning what was once an operational expense into a measurable profit driver.
