About Phrase
Phrase is a commercial localization platform for software and content teams. It connects developers, product managers and translators so that strings in code can be translated, reviewed and returned to the product without repeated manual file exchanges.
The company's offerings generally include a string management tool aimed at developers and a translation management system (TMS) for broader content and language service workflows, along with automation and quality checks. The vendor site blocked automated access when this entry was written, so confirm the current product names and AI features on the Phrase website.
Phrase is proprietary software delivered as a cloud service and sold by subscription. It is relevant to software companies localizing apps and websites into many languages, and to localization managers who coordinate in-house and agency translators.
