Phrase Connector for Language Ops

Overview

The Language Ops Phrase connector allows you to enhance your existing Phrase (formerly Memsource) workflow with our advanced translation capabilities. You don’t need to switch TMS—just add the power of Language Ops on top.

Why Use This Connector?

Phrase is excellent for managing translation projects and workflows. But you might find yourself wanting more:

• Deeper quality assurance that goes beyond Phrase’s built-in checks
• LLM-enhanced translations for creative and marketing content
• Multimedia localization for video dubbing and lip-sync
• Additional format support for specialized file types

The Language Ops connector gives you all of this while keeping your familiar Phrase workflow intact.

Integration Methods

XLIFF Exchange (Simplest)

The most straightforward integration:

1. Export your Phrase project as XLIFF
2. Import into Language Ops for processing
3. Apply cross-lingual LQA, LLM enhancement, or other services
4. Export enhanced XLIFF
5. Import back to Phrase

Works with any Phrase subscription. No API access required.

API Integration (Automated)

For high-volume or automated workflows:

• Automatic job sync between platforms
• Webhook-triggered processing
• Batch operations for efficiency
• Status callbacks to Phrase

Requires Phrase API access and Language Ops API subscription.

Custom Integration

Need something specific to your workflow? We build custom integrations. Common customizations include:

• Automated QA gating before delivery
• Selective routing of content types
• Custom status mappings
• Integration with your other tools

Use Cases

Quality Assurance Layer

Use Language Ops as an additional QA gate. Content translated in Phrase flows through our cross-lingual LQA, catching issues before delivery:

• Mistranslations and meaning shifts
• Consistency issues across documents
• Terminology compliance
• Cultural appropriateness

LLM Enhancement

Apply LLM post-editing to machine translations from Phrase:

• Improve fluency of MT output
• Adapt tone for marketing content
• Handle creative content better
• Maintain brand voice

Video Localization

Phrase doesn’t do video. When you need dubbing or lip-sync:

1. Extract audio/subtitle content from your project
2. Process through Language Ops multimedia services
3. Get professional dubbing with AI lip-sync
4. Deliver alongside text translations

Format Gap-Filling

Have files Phrase doesn’t support well? Route them through Language Ops:

• Specialized publishing formats
• Legacy document types
• Complex XML structures
• Proprietary formats
