Bureauworks Connector for Language Ops

Overview

Bureauworks brings modern AI capabilities to translation management. The Language Ops connector extends those capabilities with our specialized services: deep cross-lingual LQA, broader format support, and multimedia localization that Bureauworks doesn’t offer natively.

Why Use This Connector?

Bureauworks is a capable, modern TMS. The connector adds:

• Cross-lingual LQA with deeper analysis
• 80+ format support beyond Bureauworks’ current coverage
• Multimedia localization including dubbing and lip-sync
• Specialized processing for complex content types

Complementary strengths, not competition.

Integration Methods

XLIFF Exchange

Standard, reliable integration:

1. Export from Bureauworks as XLIFF
2. Process in Language Ops
3. Apply LQA, format conversion, or enhancement
4. Import results back to Bureauworks

Works with any Bureauworks plan.

API Integration

For automated workflows:

• Sync projects via API
• Event-driven processing
