Why Consider Language Ops Over Bureauworks?
Bureauworks brings a modern, AI-forward approach to translation management with a clean interface and good automation features. It’s a solid newer entrant in the TMS space. But if you’re looking for deeper format support, more mature technology, or capabilities like multimedia localization, Language Ops offers compelling advantages.
We’ve been solving complex localization challenges with proven technology, and our 80+ format support and cross-lingual LQA go beyond what newer platforms typically offer.

What Makes Language Ops Different?
80+ File Formats
Format support takes time to build well. Language Ops handles over 80 formats across categories: design tools (InDesign, FrameMaker, Illustrator), documentation (DITA, Markdown, HTML), video (subtitles, captions), office documents, and specialized industry formats. Whatever you’re localizing, we likely support it.
Cross-Lingual Quality Assurance
Our LQA is genuinely cross-lingual: we analyze translations against source text to catch issues that target-only QA misses. Mistranslations, omissions, inconsistencies—we find them before your customers do.
Proven at Scale
We’ve handled complex enterprise localization for years. Edge cases, unusual formats, integration challenges—we’ve seen and solved them. That experience translates to fewer surprises in your projects.
Multimedia Localization
Video content localization is a growing need. Bureauworks focuses on text content. Language Ops offers complete multimedia solutions: subtitling, dubbing, and AI-powered lip synchronization for professional video localization.
LLM + MT Intelligence
AI integration isn’t just a checkbox feature for us. We intelligently combine LLM capabilities with traditional MT based on content type, giving you optimal quality and cost for each use case.
