  • free for openSource project

  • free to join for translators

  • have "memory" or machine assisted translation capabilities

  • Easy to see the translation not updated (goal of translation management platform)

  • have a glossary

  • (nice to have) integration with Jira and github

  • support resx, java properties and po files

  • support custom language and multiple languages per country or multiple countries per language
