About Transifex
Transifex is a hosted localization platform aimed at product, localization, developer and marketing teams. Its translation management system keeps software, websites, mobile apps, help centers and games continuously localized, so that new strings are translated and delivered without manual file handling.
Features include continuous localization, project management, translation QA, team management, live projects and integrations with GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, Slack, Jira and WordPress. Developers can add it to a CI/CD pipeline to deploy translations automatically, while translators use linguistic tools to work faster. Transifex AI produces context-rich translations at scale.
Transifex is proprietary software delivered as a cloud service, with demos and a published pricing page. It suits software companies and agencies that need translation tied closely to their development workflow.
