Phrase is an enterprise-grade language intelligence platform built to help global companies automate translation and localization at scale. The platform combines a translation management system (Phrase TMS), an AI-driven workflow orchestrator, and multimedia localization tools (Phrase Studio) that handle video subtitles, dubbing, and voiceovers alongside traditional text translation. Phrase orchestrates multiple translation engines and AI models to route content intelligently, applies automated quality evaluation and scoring, and offers governance and compliance controls (including ISO27001 and GDPR compliance) for enterprise localization teams. It supports software and app localization, marketing content translation, and API-first/headless integrations so development teams can embed localization workflows directly into their existing tools. Phrase is used by companies such as Uber, Zendesk, AWS, and Deliveroo, and has been recognized as a Leader in the Forrester Wave for translation management systems.
