About

Transifex is a cloud localization platform built for development teams, with CI/CD integrations, a CLI, and Transifex Live for translating websites without file handling. Transifex Native delivers translations over the air without redeploying, and the platform includes translation memory, glossaries, and a video subtitle editor.

Pricing starts around $135-160/month billed annually with no permanent free tier, and machine translation is a metered add-on on top of plan pricing.

What it can do

  • Continuous localization with Git and CI integrations
  • Transifex Live website translation
  • Transifex Native OTA delivery
  • Translation memory, glossary, and QA checks
  • REST API and CLI

Setup

  1. Sign up and create an organization and project.
  2. Upload source files or connect a repo via the GitHub integration.
  3. Configure languages, workflows, and reviewer roles.
  4. Invite translators or order translations, then run QA checks.
  5. Pull completed translations via the CLI, API, or OTA delivery.
