Transifex is a localization platform for translating multilingual software, websites, apps and other digital content.
What Transifex is
Transifex is a localization platform for translating multilingual software, websites, apps and other digital content. Its AI translation uses translation memory, glossaries, style guides and string context to shape translations. The Translation Quality Index scores work in real time and can route it for review or automatically approve it above a chosen threshold. Teams can use custom workflows, branching, tasks, string-level discussions, reports and human review. Transifex supports more than 46 file formats, including Android XML, Apple strings, JSON, XLIFF, Office documents and subtitles. Integrations include GitHub, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, Figma, Sketch, Contentful, Zendesk, HubSpot and Slack, alongside API, webhooks, SDKs and CLI support. Transifex Live can publish website translation updates without a deployment step; SDKs and over-the-air delivery support codebases and CI/CD workflows. The platform lists SSO, enforced two-factor authentication, roles and permissions, and SOC 2 Type II, GDPR and EU AI Act compliance. Transifex was founded in 2009 and became part of the XTM Group in 2025. Paid plans and a free 15-day trial are listed, with plans varying by hosted-word range. AI-First usage is based on translated word volume, and that plan excludes third-party machine translation and MT Fillup.
