Integrate translate5 into existing systems, automate workflows and integrate your own tools – in a modular, flexible way thanks to our API-first approach.
API-first architecture – integrates everything
The translate5 interface uses our own API. This means that each function can be addressed via a REST API.
Thanks to this approach, individual processes can be automated and customized tools and scripts can be integrated – from task creation and segment processing to review control.
Flexible plug-in system for expansion: External services such as additional MT engines, terminology checks or file format conversions can be integrated directly into your workflow.
Our microservice architecture in the background guarantees that new services can be added easily – without having to rebuild the core system.
Thanks to our flexible open-source model, you can also extend translate5 with plug-ins yourself – or have us extend it for you. Plug-ins are licensed under the GPLv3 licence (while the core application is licensed under the AGPLv3). This means that the source code of plug-ins – if used via a browser – does not have to be disclosed to users. In contrast to changes to the core application.
t5Connect – connects anything
Thanks to the API-first approach, almost anything can be connected to translate5. A selection of already realized integrations includes:
MT engines (e.g. DeepL, Google, Microsoft) via plug-ins in the system
LLM from e.g. OpenAI, Llama, DeepSeek, Gemini, Mistral, Claude, etc.
Import and processing of various CAT formats: SDLXLIFF, MQXLFF, Transit language pairs, Across XLIFF
Plug-ins or integrations for TM systems and platforms such as Plunet as well as GroupShare and WorldServer from RWS
You can use translate5’s editor or translate5 Visual for almost any CAT format: Import SDLXLIFF, MQXLFF, Across-XLIFF or Transit language pairs, for example, and include your PDF layout reference – and your team will be able to see the final layout during translation.
Your advantages at a glance
Seamless integration into your existing IT landscape: Whether CMS, PIM, TM/MT system, TMS such as WorldServer or Plunet or individual tools – translate5 can be flexibly integrated.
No monolithic solution necessary: You select the modules you need – and only integrate what you want to use.
Process automation: Your workflows increase in efficiency, reduce media disruptions and enable better control.
Long-term scalability: Thanks to our API-first approach and microservice architecture, extensions and customizations will also be possible in the future without any problems.
Market and tool independence: You remain independent of proprietary systems and define your processes according to your requirements.
Seamless integration with Blackbird
The platform blackbird.io enables automation and orchestration of multilingual content workflows. Connect your translate5 to the platform thanks to its own Blackbird app and utilize the comprehensive automation of projects, tasks, translations, and review processes. All functions can be controlled programmatically via REST API or Blackbird workflows, which guarantees maximum efficiency, scalability, and transparency. This allows you to retain full control, even of complex projects, at all times – with minimum manual effort and maximum flexibility.
