What is TMS (Translation Management System)?

Enterprise platforms (Smartling, Phrase) orchestrating translators, workflows and content connectors at scale.

In more depth

TMS shines for apps, docs and teams of translators; a content website usually needs none of that ceremony.

Why it matters for your website

Understanding TMS (Translation Management System) helps you make better decisions when taking a WordPress site multilingual — from choosing URL structures and engines to controlling costs. Transxlate handles the mechanics (language URLs, lang attributes, caching, hreflang on Pro) so terms like this become settings, not engineering projects.
