Overview
The LanguageOps Phrase connector adds our QA, AI and review tools to your existing Phrase (formerly Memsource) workflow. You keep Phrase as your TMS and send work through LanguageOps where it helps.
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 LanguageOps connector gives you all of this while keeping your familiar Phrase workflow intact.
Integration Methods
XLIFF Exchange (Simplest)
The most straightforward integration:
- Export your Phrase project as XLIFF
- Import into LanguageOps for processing
- Apply cross-lingual LQA, LLM enhancement, or other services
- Export enhanced XLIFF
- 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 LanguageOps 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 LanguageOps 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:
- Extract audio/subtitle content from your project
- Process through LanguageOps multimedia services
- Get professional dubbing with AI lip-sync
- Deliver alongside text translations
Format Gap-Filling
Have files Phrase doesn’t support well? Route them through LanguageOps:
- Specialized publishing formats
- Legacy document types
- Complex XML structures
- Proprietary formats
