TextUnited Overview
TextUnited is a European localization platform combining TMS workflow with outsourced translation services — one provider for software, website, and document translation.
How TextUnited Works
TextUnited blends a cloud TMS with human services: connect repositories or upload files, pre-translate with MT, then order professional linguists from TextUnited's network for review — all in one platform with one invoice. Overlays and in-context editors cover websites and apps; TM is shared across everything you translate.
Key Capabilities
- Combined platform + human translation services (one vendor for both)
- Website overlay translation without developer involvement
- API/CLI for developer workflows alongside managed services
- Shared translation memory across MT and human work
- GDPR-compliant European data handling
Best Use Cases
- Companies wanting platform + human translation from one vendor
- Website localization managed by marketing (no dev resources)
- European companies with GDPR-focused procurement
- Teams that outsource translation but want to own the TM
TextUnited Pricing
Platform plans start around €55/month. Human translation is quoted per language pair and content type (typically €0.05-0.12 per word). The free trial includes platform access with sample translation credits.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does TextUnited provide translators or just software?
Both — the platform is available standalone, or you can order professional human translation from TextUnited's linguist network directly in the same workspace.
How does TextUnited's website translation work?
An overlay/connector approach: content is detected on your live site and translations display in context, without exporting files — marketing teams can manage it without developer support.
Is TextUnited GDPR compliant?
Yes — it is a European (Polish) company processing data in the EU, with DPA and GDPR-compliant handling standard, which simplifies procurement for European organizations.
Verdict
TextUnited suits buyers who want one accountable vendor for both software and services — the overlay website translation and bundled linguist network remove coordination overhead. Its platform depth trails Crowdin/Lokalise for dev-heavy teams, but as a managed-service-plus-platform play, especially under GDPR procurement, it is a coherent choice.
