Phrase (formerly known as PhraseApp) is a proprietary web-based translation management system, also known as Globalization Management System (GMS). It is owned by Dynport GmbH based in Hamburg, Germany.[1][2][3] In January 2021, Phrase was acquired by Memsource.
Phrase is a software as a service for commercial products and open source projects. Its platform software was written in Ruby and runs on the Rails as API-backend for the OpenSource Rubygem phrase.[4]
History[]
Phrase started out as an in-place editor for translations using the Ruby i18n localization library and JQuery. It was presented as a techdemo at the Euruco 2012 in Amsterdam.[5] The idea was soon met by requests of early users to store, edit and share locale files online, from which demand the Phrase Translation Center was inspired and released.[6][7][8]
