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.
