The standard machine translation scorer: computes BLEU, chrF and TER with significance tests and downloads public test sets such as WMT, to compare engines or prompts. Needs Python 3.9+ and reference translations; automatic metrics are a rough screen, so final copy still needs human review.

Batch-translates SRT, ASS, VTT and LRC subtitles, handling a whole season at once, with bilingual output and 120+ languages. The default free translation API needs no setup, or connect DeepL or various LLMs. The CLI runs from a cloned repo with yarn and needs Node.js 24+.

General Translation's gt CLI: a wizard sets up i18n for React, Next.js and similar apps, then sends UI strings and JSON, YAML or Markdown files for AI translation and writes them back, with CI support. Needs a Node.js project and a General Translation API key (free sign-up, usage-based pricing).

Open-source toolkit widely used in localization: converts between PO, XLIFF, TMX, CSV, subtitle and other translation formats, counts words, runs 40+ translation checks with pofilter and extracts frequent terms with poterminology. Needs Python 3.11+.

Unbabel's machine-translation quality metric: comet-score rates translations per sentence and overall, XCOMET marks error spans and severity, and CometKiwi works without a reference. Good for spot-checking MT. Needs Python 3.8+; models download from Hugging Face, some need a license; GPU helps.

Uses an LLM to translate SRT, ASS and VTT subtitles into any language in batches, convert formats and transcribe audio or video. Install the CLI from source (Python 3.10+); needs an API key (e.g. OpenRouter) or a local model, and subtitles go to that provider.

Microsoft Azure's official tool for translating Markdown, Jupyter notebooks and image text into 50+ languages; re-translates only changed parts and keeps links and formatting. Needs Python 3.11+ and an Azure OpenAI, OpenAI or Anthropic key; images need Azure AI Vision.

Automatically aligns subtitles to audio and video with a neural network, and can transcribe subtitles with Whisper or translate them with local models; supports 10+ formats such as SRT, TTML and SCC. Needs Python 3.9-3.12 and FFmpeg; transcription and translation need the llm extra.

Translates SRT subtitles or plain text in batches through any OpenAI-compatible API, stripping timestamps and other overhead to save tokens, keeping output line-aligned with the source, and resuming interrupted jobs. Needs Node.js 20+, a source install and an OpenAI API key or local Ollama.

Offline translation sync for coding agents: hands only new strings in JSON, YAML, PO, CSV and other locale files to the agent for translation and never overwrites human-edited translations, saving tokens. Needs Node.js; calls no translation API itself.

Crowdin's official CLI: push source files and pull translations back in place, track progress, manage glossaries and TM, and run machine or AI pre-translation, with JSON output for agents. Needs a Crowdin account (free trial; free for open source) and a token; crowdin init sets up config.

i18next's official CLI: finds hard-coded strings in JS/TS code, extracts translation keys, checks which locales are missing entries and syncs locale files; init --yes sets up non-interactively, and a bundled agent skill guides app internationalization. Needs a Node.js project using i18next.

Microsoft Translator's translation quality tool: GPT scores each sentence using MQM error categories or a direct score; --list_mqm_errors shows error types and severity. Needs line-aligned source and target files, Python and an OpenAI or Azure OpenAI key (paid); a translator should still review.

Lokalise's official CLI (lokalise2) covering the Lokalise API v2: upload and download language files and manage keys, translations, screenshots, translation tasks and contributors. Needs a Lokalise account (paid, 14-day free trial) and an API token passed via --token.

SimpleLocalize's official CLI: upload and download translation files, trigger machine and AI auto-translation, publish translations to the CDN, and extract translation keys from source code for CI. Needs a SimpleLocalize account and project API key; paid service with a 14-day free trial.

Locize's official CLI: sync local translation files with the Locize platform, add, remove and look up keys, download published translations, manage versions and branches, and export JSON, XLIFF, PO, CSV or Excel for translators. Needs a Locize account, project ID and API key; free plan available.

Phrase Strings' official CLI: phrase init walks you through config, then phrase push uploads language files and phrase pull fetches the latest translations; it also wraps the full API for projects, locales and keys. Needs a Phrase Strings account (paid, 14-day free trial) and an API token.

Official CLI for Weblate, the open-source translation platform: check translation progress for projects and components, upload and download translation files, lock components, and commit or push repository changes. Hosted or self-hosted; needs the server URL, an API key and Python.

DeepL's official CLI: translate text and PDF, Word, PowerPoint and Excel documents while keeping formatting, with glossaries and translation memory. Needs a DeepL API key (free plan available); install from source with Node.js 24.15+. Have legal translations reviewed.

Official CLI for Tolgee, the open-source localization platform: extract strings from code, push keys to Tolgee and pull the latest translations, and diff local files against the platform. Works with Tolgee Cloud or self-hosted; needs Node.js 18+ and a personal or project API key (tolgee login).

RWS's official PowerShell toolkit for automating Trados Studio: batch-create translation projects, run word counts, import and export packages, and manage translation memories (incl. TMX) and GroupShare projects. Windows only; needs Trados Studio Professional; install the MSI from Releases.
