wxrks, formerly Bureau Works, is a translation management system for coordinating projects, costs, quality, vendors, knowledge, access, permissions, and workflows. Its editor uses translation memories, glossaries, and machine translation to offer context-sensitive suggestions, then learns from translators’ changes. Automations can cover project creation, quoting, billing, task assignment, quality checks, and workflow steps, with options to switch them off or make exceptions. The platform is available on the web and through an API; wxrks says interface functions have corresponding API calls and webhooks enable two-way integrations. Listed integrations include tools such as Webflow, QuickBooks, Figma, GitHub, WordPress, and Adobe AEM. It is aimed at localization managers, translation agencies, translators, developers, and creative teams. A free plan is listed, with paid plans from $38/mo (annual); a 14-day trial is available. wxrks states that it has SOC 2 Type 2 certification and that customer data is not shared with third parties or used for training.
