Everything you need to review and approve translations
Our secure review tool allows your team to review, comment on and approve translations in one centralised environment. You can involve in-market stakeholders, keep feedback organised and confirm content is ready-to-go before publication.

Why use a review tool

- Feedback is shared across multiple channels
- Version control becomes difficult to manage
- Review cycles take longer than necessary
- Terminology corrections are not applied consistently
- In-market reviewers lack visibility into translation workflows
Our review tool brings multilingual content review into one secure environment. It helps your team to review content, provide feedback and approve translations efficiently, while maintaining full visibility and control.
