Localization and Translation Management
Platform market (tms integration registers; builders ranked) + association participation. The Kin Score Market layer reads each provider in its market:
who it integrates with, how deep those integrations go, and where the market publishes its own structure.
Methodology.
30providers measured
18 (60.0%)declare their own
1 (3.3%)covered by others only
3 (10.0%)distribution only (sell through, not integrations)
8 (26.7%)undeclared
2declare compatibility (report only, not weighted)

Provisional. Provisional and unweighted: the Market layer is not part of the composite or agent readiness. Leader lists are read within a position, never as one ranking. A provider that declares nothing we can
read is shown as undeclared, with no number: we never infer integrations.
Where this market publishes its structure
- Crowdin Store (store.crowdin.com llms.txt + llms-txt app twins + author pages) machine-readable, 935 entries, 644 App/System integrations; 29 edges after 7 format / mis-identity holds; 551 unlinked
- Phrase integrations (phrase.com wp-json/wp/v2/integration + integration-tag / -badge) machine-readable, 244 entries, 223 integrations (152 third-party); 45 edges; 21 services partners held
- Lokalise apps (lokalise.com/product/apps) machine-readable, 30 cards (3 partner-built); 11 edges
- Smartling integrations (smartling.com sitemap /integrations/ pages) machine-readable, 71 pages; 7 edges, direction unknown
- Transifex integrations (transifex.com/integrations + llms.txt) machine-readable, 10 pages; 6 edges, direction unknown
- GALA member directory (gala-global.org/member-directory) machine-readable, 285 pages (3 answer 500: mis-encoded sitemap slugs); 2 linked (phrase, smartling), 28 out-of-market, 206 without a catalog repo
- ELIA members (elia-association.org) machine-readable, 130 members, all LSPs; none holds a catalog repo
- Memsource / XTM / RWS (Trados) app stores not machine-readable: no public register: Trados AppStore is login-gated; appstore.rws.com renders only with a session
Own = declares at least one integration itself; covered = visible only because an aggregator, standards body, regulator or partner contract names it; distribution-only = listed only on cloud marketplaces it sells through, a channel reported beside, never counted as its own declared integrations; undeclared = nothing we can read, so no number; declares_compatibility = providers with a `compatible` shape vote, report only (kin, 2026-10-13): never counted as own, never in depth or position.
Taxonomy how this market maps onto apis.io
Derived 2026-10-23 from the 30 providers in this market we could resolve in the
catalog. The percentage is the share of those providers carrying each one; it describes the market, not the tag or industry. Tag groups have no page of their own yet, so they are listed unlinked.
share of resolved cohort carrying it; tags >=0.20 & >=3 members (max 12, junk dropped), tag_groups >=0.20 (cooccurrence, non-cross-cutting; max 8), industries >=0.20 (max 6), areas >=0.10 (max 6; areas are keyword-matched and sparse), capabilities L1 >=0.20 (max 8); derive-market-taxonomy.py
Leaders by position (provisional)
Provisional: grouped by position, depth compared within a position only. Distribution (cloud marketplaces) and iPaaS bridges are counted beside
position, never inside it. Unknown-builder listings are left out of position shares and counted here.
