What is Flow

Flow is a localization delivery platform. It brings what needs to be translated, who is translating, and whether it has been delivered onto a single pipeline, eliminating the need to chase progress through emails and spreadsheets.

A single pipeline#

1. 1

   Content enters Kits

   Each localization table in a project is called a Kit. You place keys, source text, context, and target languages in tables, which you can edit directly or import from files.

2. 2

   Edit in drafts, preserve in versions

   All edits land in a shared draft first without affecting published content. Once verified, commit the draft as an immutable version snapshot.

3. 3

   Select scopes and issue jobs

   Check items and target languages in the table, then create a job to assign to a vendor team. When you have large volumes, use publisher batches to split the work.

4. 4

   Vendors translate in the editor

   Vendors accept jobs in My Jobs, translate segments with context in the in-context editor, and deliver the round when done.

5. 5

   Review and write back to drafts

   Review the delivery against previous rounds with word-level diffs. Once accepted, write translations back to the Kit draft, which you can then commit as a new version.

Close

The dashboard aggregates progress and items that require your action across projects.

Two roles#

Requester Prepares content in project Kits, issues jobs, reviews deliveries, and writes back to drafts.

Vendor Belongs to a collaborator team, accepts jobs in My Jobs, translates, delivers, and handles rework requests.

One account can hold different roles across different workspaces. In pages tagged with a role, you only need to focus on what applies to you.
