Supervertaler Workbench vs XTM Cloud

Supervertaler Workbench is a free standalone CAT tool that combines AI translation with traditional computer-assisted translation workflows. It supports AI translation, batch translation, chat, prompts, image context and AI proofreading, as well as local models through Ollama. Listed providers include OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, Mistral AI, DeepSeek, OpenRouter, Ollama and custom OpenAI-compatible endpoints. Translation features include fuzzy matching, TMX import and concordance search; terminology tools include termbases, automatic term highlighting and TermLens. DOCX and TXT are supported directly, with additional formats through Okapi, including IDML, HTML, XLIFF, PO, XLSX and PPTX. Documentation describes exchange workflows for memoQ, Trados Studio, Phrase and CafeTran. The privacy policy says documents, termbases and translation memories stay on the user's machine, while AI requests go directly to the selected provider when an AI action is triggered. Ollama processes data locally. Workbench runs on Linux, macOS and Windows and supports offline desktop use. Its maker says it is no longer actively developed, though genuine bugs may still be fixed and releases still go out.

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.
