wxrks (formerly Bureau Works)
What it is
wxrks, formerly Bureau Works, is a translation management system for coordinating projects, costs, quality, vendors, knowledge, access, permissions, and workflows. Its augmented editor suggests translations using translation memories, glossaries, and machine translation, then adapts to translator changes. Automations can handle project creation, quoting, billing, task assignment, quality checks, and workflow steps; users can turn them off or set exceptions. The platform serves localization managers, translation agencies, translators, developers, and creative teams. It is available on the web and through an API, with webhooks supporting bidirectional integrations. Listed connections include Webflow, QuickBooks, Figma, GitHub, WordPress, and Adobe AEM, among others. wxrks states that it has SOC 2 Type 2 certification and that customer data is not shared with third parties or used for training. The Free plan is free, billed yearly. Paid yearly plans are Starter at $38 a year, Boutique at $180 a year, Clockwork at $470 a year, Fusion at $980 a year, Quantum at $1,980 a year, and pulsAR at $3,300 a year.
