Transifex vs Translation Exchange: What are the differences?

What is Transifex? GitHub for Translation. Transifex is a cloud-based localization platform built to help you manage the translation and localization of your app, website, video subtitles, and more. It acts as a repository for your content (think GitHub for translation) and includes tools for developers to get that content into Transifex automatically. Transifex also provides translators a web interface to submit translations.

What is Translation Exchange? A Complete Toolkit for Localization. Whether you need to localize a mobile app, a complex web service, an online store, or your marketing site, Translation Exchange’s localization platform and translation management tools help you offer a native linguistic experience.

Transifex and Translation Exchange can be primarily classified as "Translation Service" tools.

Some of the features offered by Transifex are:

• Command-line tool: A Git-like command line tool that lets developers manage translations within a project without an elaborate UI system. They can use the command-line client to create new resources, map locale files to translations, and synchronize their Transifex project with local files and vice versa
• Order translations: Get professional-quality translations in 33 languages
• Reports: See a list of users who have contributed to your projects along with the number of new and edited words each one has translated

On the other hand, Translation Exchange provides the following key features:

• Save up to 70% on the time needed to translate and deploy your multilingual campaigns
• Shared Translation Memory ensures you never have to pay to translate twice
• Cloud-based Translation Center keeps everyone connected and communicating on the same page
