How Attached automated translation delivery to provide faster, more reliable localisation.
Accelerating translation delivery with fully automated workflows
As client needs shifted toward on-demand, zero-manual handling of localisation work, Attached recognised that traditional project setups were no longer sufficient. By partnering with XTRF and leveraging Smart Connectors alongside CAT-tool integration, the team built a highly automated process that eliminated repetitive steps and enabled project creation and execution at the touch of a button—resulting in rapid turnaround, reduced cost, and reliable delivery for even the most demanding enterprise workflows.

The Challenge
The highly reputable Attached team tirelessly strives to product top-quality results by combining the expertise of its technical and linguistic teams.
Attached approached XTRF for assistance in creating a fully automated delivery process to eliminate the need for manual handling altogether. The wishes of one of their enterprise software clients meant they now needed to translate and implement strings of text at the touch of a button.
Why XTRF by XTM
Tailor-made automation
The huge technological advancements that have been made in workflow automation meant that there were several options available to Attached. However, the team preferred to integrate their existing system infrastructure so far as possible.
Additionally, the aforementioned client had also requested that costs be kept to an absolute minimum.
XTRF accepted the challenge!
Smart means speed
For XTRF, the project certainly presented some challenges. Nevertheless, our team’s experience enabled us to come up with a solution that suited all parties involved.
In the end, Smart Connectors were the ultimate solution. These tools enable project managers to create projects exponentially faster and also provide extra functionality for end clients. In addition, Phrase (then Memsource) was integrated into the platform.
Working hand in glove with the localization engineering team at Attached, the project team was able to utilize macros to administer some of the more complex actions.
Stellar support
The Phrase integration – coupled with our use of Smart Connections – enabled Attached to launch their system in record time. In addition, costs were also kept within their client’s budget.
The XTRF support team was able to iron out any issues and help the team master the new system.
"The great news is that Attached now has an automated workflow that facilitates quick turnarounds with next to no manual handling – made possible by the flexibility of XTRF’s Translation Management System.”
