Capabilities
What XLIFF Translation does
Inline tags preserved
Formatting and placeholder tags inside segments are carried across rather than stripped.
TMS interoperable
Universe coexists with an existing TMS rather than replacing it. Phrase is supported as an alternate provider, and XTM integration is built.
Memory shared platform-wide
Strings translated here are available to your website, app, video, and document content too.
How it works

Select languages and terminology.
- 03
Translate segments
Each translation unit is filled, with memory reuse before generation.

FAQ
Questions people ask
Does this replace our TMS?
No. It extends it. Universe coexists with an existing TMS — Phrase is available as an alternate provider selectable per organization, and XTM integration is developed — so this adds AI throughput rather than forcing a migration.
Are segment states preserved?
Yes. Translation units, states, notes, and inline formatting tags are handled as structure, so the returned file stays valid for downstream tools.
