Transifex vs Weblate: 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 Weblate? A web-based translation tool with version control integration. It is a free web-based translation management system. It provides two user interfaces, propagation of translations across components, quality checks and automatic linking to source files.

Transifex and Weblate can be categorized 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, Weblate provides the following key features:

  • Continuous Localization
  • Quality Checks
  • Attribution

Weblate is an open source tool with 1.5K GitHub stars and 389 GitHub forks. Here's a link to Weblate's open source repository on GitHub.
