Mansa Joins the Phrase Ecosystem
Mansa is now available inside Phrase, so Phrase customers can translate into 30 African languages without leaving the platform.
Words by
African Languages Lab
Mansa is now part of the Phrase ecosystem. Through Phrase's Bring Your Own Engine capability, Phrase customers can use Mansa to translate into 30 African languages directly inside the Phrase Platform, with no custom setup and no extra integration work.
About Phrase
Phrase is a localisation platform that companies use to manage translation across products, websites and content. Teams use it to route content to the right translation engines and reviewers, manage terminology and translation memory, and keep releases moving across many languages at once.
What it means for Phrase customers
Global brands expanding into Africa, and African businesses growing internationally, can now reach audiences in 30 African languages with accurate, culturally aware translation. In practice, teams can:
Connect Mansa from inside the Phrase Platform, without custom engineering.
Translate into African languages alongside every other language they already manage.
Keep African language content inside the same review, approval and release workflow as the rest of their content.
Why Mansa
Mansa is African Languages Lab's multilingual AI system, built for African languages, accents and contexts. It is built on 100B+ curated tokens and 13,000+ hours of expert-validated speech, and its translation preserves meaning and cultural nuance rather than working word for word. Mansa Translate was named a Rising Star of 2025 at the ALCA Conference, and our work on MansaLLM was named 2025 Innovator of the Year at LocWorld54.
Why it matters
Most of Africa's 2,000+ languages are still missing from mainstream AI. For many organisations, the hardest part of adding African languages is not the translation itself but fitting it into the systems they already run. Bringing Mansa into the tools localisation teams use every day is one of the fastest ways to close that gap.
