TextUnited: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

TextUnited is an enterprise translation platform for organisations that publish technical and regulated content in several languages. It keeps terminology, translation memories and style guides in one governed system, lets teams approve translations before publication, and provides an MCP server through which company AI tools can read and edit approved terminology. The product is offered as a cloud service and as a private deployment inside the customer's own environment.

Text United GmbH is registered in Vienna, Austria, and its legal notice names no parent company. Its privacy policy is written under the GDPR. The website states that the platform is hosted on Microsoft Azure or inside the customer's own environment, but it does not name the Azure region. Because Microsoft is a US provider, organisations choosing the cloud option should confirm the region and contractual terms against their own requirements; the private deployment keeps content within the organisation's own network. The product is not presented as open source.

Why digital sovereignty matters with TextUnited

TextUnited is headquartered in AT and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so TextUnited scores best on data residency.

TextUnited is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs TextUnited together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
