About Transifex

Transifex is a long-running cloud localization platform used by software companies to translate apps, websites, help centres and video subtitles. It connects to GitHub, Bitbucket and Azure DevOps so branches can be localized before release, and Transifex Native and Transifex Live deliver translations to apps and websites without a deployment step. Since joining XTM, it is branded XTM Transifex and uses XTM's AI engine, XTM IQ, to generate translations grounded in your glossary, style guide and translation memory, with quality scores that decide which strings need a human review. Pricing has moved from published tiers to a single plan sold through sales, based on how much you translate. It suits companies that want a managed, AI-heavy workflow; teams wanting self-serve monthly pricing or an open-source option will find it less accessible than before.

Best for: Software companies wanting AI-first localization with Git and website delivery built in.
