What is document translation?

Documentation translation refers to translating files like a Word document, slide deck, blog article, or an email. The segments within a document have a specific order. The finished translation file is delivered in the same file format as the source file.

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.

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.
