Professional translation
services
Efficiently manage professional language providers on a
single platform.
Collaborate seamlessly, stay in control
Human oversight is essential for business-critical translations, but handing everything to a vendor can feel like a black box with little visibility into how your content is treated. By separating software from services, you get full visibility and control over your language operations.
Phrase is a vendor-neutral localization platform that enables you to work with the best vendors for each language, compare their performance, and fully own your translation memories, terminology, and machine translation strategy.
How Phrase simplifies professional translation management
Automate human translation workflows
Built for professional translation at scale, Phrase enables fully automated workflows for assigning jobs to human translators as well as tracking progress and quality. Assign tasks to preferred vendors or use first-come, first-served rules to accelerate turnaround.
Enforce consistency
Phrase helps you maintain consistency across all your vendors with enforced terminology, style guides, and translation memory. Translators work with contextual information, in-line QA alerts, and clear guidance on tone and brand voice, ensuring consistent results across multiple markets.
Track vendor performance
Stay in control with granular performance reporting and analytics across your professional translation providers. Phrase tracks vendor performance over time, monitors quality metrics, and helps you make informed sourcing decisions.
Protect sensitive content
Role-based permissions, secure workspaces, and single sign-on support keep your content protected while enabling seamless collaboration with external linguists.
Managing translation services with Phrase TMS
Save time and money by managing your translation service providers with Phrase TMS.
Transparency & control
Get full control over the resources used (machine translation, translation memory, etc.), as well as visibility into the work performed by human translators and an automatic price calculation.
Efficient multi-vendor management
Ditch email communication needed in favor of shared projects. Assign jobs on a first-come first-served basis with 100% automated workflows, so that new tasks are assigned to vendors immediately.
High translation quality
Give translators in-context previews, respond to any questions, and give feedback to ensure your message translates well.
Cost efficiency
Pay for what is actually being translated. Phrase identifies content that doesn’t need work, such as non-translatables, or matches from memory and terms bases. Analyze costs by vendor and language ahead of time and monitor how machine translation is used.

We’re producing over 20 emails a week, and the platform ensures every single one is on-brand, localized, and responsive, without any engineering effort.
What3Words explored multiple localization solutions, but Phrase emerged as the indisputable frontrunner. Thanks to Phrase we have more control over our timelines. The languages team turns around a localization request in about a week, and this is never in doubt.
Phrase has become an indispensable part of our localization strategy at BlaBlaCar. Our plans include scaling the range of materials localized within the Phrase platform, particularly our help center and customer relationship content. This in turn will bolster business, improve customer satisfaction, and drive loyalty. This strategic shift reflects the efficiency gains we’ve achieved through Phrase and our commitment to delivering top-quality services to our customers globally through streamlined translation and localization processes.

Can you recommend trusted LSPs that work with Phrase?
Absolutely. We have strategic partnerships with many of the world’s top language service providers. Our partners page features some of them, and our Customer Success team is happy to help match you with a provider based on your industry, content type, or regions.

How do I assign tasks to internal vs external translators?
Phrase lets you easily assign jobs to both internal linguists and external vendors, either manually or through automation rules. You can prioritize by translator group, apply first-come-first-served assignment logic, or route tasks by content type, language, or workflow stage.
Does Phrase support regulated content review?
Yes. Phrase supports regulated content localization through configurable workflows, access controls, audit logs, and review steps, making it suitable for industries like healthcare, finance, and legal.
