Transifex (previously known as Indifex) is a globalization management system (GMS), a proprietary software, and a web-based translation platform. It targets technical projects with frequently updated content, such as software, documentation, and websites, and encourages the automation of the localization workflow by integrating with common developer tools.[further explanation needed][1]

Transifex is an SaaS (software as a Service), with paid and free plan for localizing open-source software. Transifex was originally an open-source project but was discontinued in 2013.[2][3]

The site provides a hosting platform for translation files and social networking functions, such as feeds, discussion boards, translation suggestions, and voting to allow translators to collaborate. Transifex is written using Django and Python by founder Dimitris Glezos under a Google Summer of Code project.[4]
