Detailed Review
Across Language Server is a translation management system built to sit at the centre of a company's language work, holding one shared translation memory and terminology base that every department and external vendor draws from rather than each team keeping its own.
Workflow automation routes content to the right translator or reviewer, and machine translation integration lets an engine pre-fill segments before a human corrects them — the same shape as XTM and Wordbee, aimed at the same buyer: a company or agency managing translation as an ongoing process rather than a one-off document.
Across Systems GmbH is registered in Karlsbad, Germany, under commercial register HRB 362882 at the Mannheim court, giving it German and EU jurisdiction alongside Plunet.
The company states more than 25 years in the market but does not publish a specific founding year, and — like STAR Transit and Plunet — publishes no pricing or trial anywhere on the site: every route runs through a contact form for "a no-obligations advisory conversation or an online demonstration."
That puts the buying process on the same footing as STAR Transit's rather than memoQ's published entry price, and a prospective customer should expect a sales conversation before seeing a number.

Where Across Language Server falls short
- No published pricing or trial; every route goes through sales

Standout feature. Everything answers to one memory: Across is built so every department and vendor draws from the same translation memory rather than keeping their own.
