In their own words
locize
Locize is a localization platform for connecting software code and internationalization setups with translators, then delivering translation updates through a CDN or API without a full app redeploy. Developers can sync keys and source strings through CLI or CI, while translators and reviewers use a separate interface with translation memory, in-context editing, review workflows, and machine or generative AI translations. Listed integrations and support include i18next, React, Vue, Angular, Next.js, Node.js, Figma, iOS and Android, plus PHP, Python, Java, and.NET. The Free plan is free and includes one user, two languages, five namespaces, and 100K standard CDN downloads per month. Starter costs $7 a month, and a 14-day trial is listed. Download limits matter: fixed plans block a project after standard CDN use exceeds 110% of its allowance, while Free automatically unpublishes translations. Locize lists MFA options, SAML 2.0 SSO, role-based permissions, backups, encryption, and Swiss FADP and EU GDPR coverage.
XTM Cloud
XTM Cloud is a translation management system for linguists, project managers and localization teams. Its standard modules—XTM Workflow, XTM Engine and browser-based XTM Workbench—support document and website translation, translation memory, terminology, glossaries, quality checks and alignment. Teams can use it as SaaS on public or private cloud, or deploy it on-premise. Browser access works on PCs and tablets, with the XTM Mobile app for smartphones and tablets; documented browser systems include Windows, Mac and Linux. XTM Connect supplies CMS and repository connectors, alongside SOAP and REST web-service APIs. The system connects to machine translation engines including Amazon Translate, DeepL, Google Translate, Microsoft Translator, OpenAI GPT and SYSTRAN Pure Neural. XTM lists support for 887 languages and 65 file formats, including XLIFF, JSON, XML, Adobe InDesign, Microsoft Office, Google Docs and HTML. The maker says it meets SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001 and GDPR requirements and does not use customer data to train AI models. Annual plans start at $16,500/yr, and a 30-day trial is offered.
