In their own words
Matecat
Matecat is a free, open-source online computer-assisted translation tool for translators, language service providers, companies, and enterprise teams. It uses translation memories and machine-translation matches to reduce the text translators need to translate, and offers adaptive machine translation from ModernMT in more than 200 languages. The tool supports document and website translation, glossary tools, and real-time teamwork: teams can assign jobs, discuss work in comments, and divide projects among translators. Matecat states that it supports 80 file formats, while the hosted service works with XLIFF out of the box and other formats may require Matecat Filters. REST APIs let users create projects and check their status; API credentials require contacting support with a use description. Its open-source server can be self-hosted. For hosted use, Matecat says browser-to-server communications use SSL, originals and translations are stored long term, and public segments may provide matches to others. It runs in a desktop browser, not on mobile devices. The listed plan is free, with unlimited features, users, and projects.
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.
