Our take

Even today, language barriers can hold businesses back from achieving their full potential. Phrase (from Memsource) solves this problem with its translation management solution. Its cloud-based platform offers efficient automated translation. Its AI-driven approach is mainly targeted toward enterprises that typically need to translate large volumes of text.

In 2021, Memsource acquired Phrase, officially unifying both its platforms (and brands) under one integrated suite. By doing so, it enables enterprises to seamlessly drive growth with a connected ecosystem of tools.

Phrase boasts an impressive client base with the likes of Uber, Shopify, Volkswagen amongst thousands of others. IT recently brought in impressive funding, which will be used to expand its global footprint through hiring world-class, international talent.
