What XTM Cloud is
XTM Cloud is a translation management system for linguists, project managers, and localization teams. Its standard modules are XTM Workflow, XTM Engine, and the browser-based XTM Workbench, with tools for document and website translation, translation memory, terminology, glossaries, quality checks, and alignment. The system supports 887 languages and 65 file formats, including XLIFF, JSON, XML, Adobe InDesign, Microsoft Office, Google Docs, and HTML. XTM Connect provides connectors for content management systems and repositories, along with SOAP and REST web-service APIs. It can connect to machine translation engines such as Amazon Translate, DeepL, Google Translate, Microsoft Translator, OpenAI GPT, and SYSTRAN Pure Neural. Deployment options include public or private cloud SaaS and on-premise use. Browser access works on PCs and tablets; the XTM Mobile app is available for smartphones and tablets, and documented browser operating systems include Windows, Mac, and Linux.
