ApSIC Xbench

ApSIC Xbench combines translation quality assurance with terminology management for professional translators. It searches bilingual reference files and terminology sources in common CAT formats, including TMX, XLIFF, Trados, Wordfast, memoQ, and Deja Vu. Built-in checks cover completeness, consistency, numbers, tags, spelling, and key terminology; users can also make checklists using PowerSearch, regular expressions, or Microsoft Word wildcards. Hunspell dictionaries support spell-checking in 48 languages. Plugins or extensions are listed for Trados Studio, Passolo, Matecat, Phrase TMS, Transifex, Smartcat, Crowdin, and Google Polyglot. Xbench 3.0 is available for Windows in 32-bit and 64-bit editions, with support listed from Windows XP through Windows 11. Its fully functional trial lasts 30 days. Xbench 3.0 costs €99/year + VAT (if applicable). Xbench 2.9 is free, but is non-Unicode and its development is frozen. Licensed users can install Xbench on internet-connected computers, with one simultaneous instance per authorized user.
