ModelFront Announces OpenLoc
ModelFront launched OpenLoc, an open TMS built for AI, at Tech Week 2026 in San Francisco.
“In the AI era, open is winning more than ever. Free, open, AI-native enterprise translation management is key for localization teams to not just survive but thrive.”
OpenLoc Features
Teams can run raw ai workflows without ai tax, use any llm with context and rag, get free integrations, create dashboards, and manage via system-wide mcp.
Why Open TMS Matters
Traditional tms software charges per seat and processed word, while ai features are add-ons. This causes shadow localization where teams skip enterprise translation.
Open Code and Platform
OpenLoc source code is available under business source license 1.1, with public release on github on october 19, 2026.
Hosting and Migration
Teams can host openloc themselves or get enterprise hosting and support. Migration between systems is easier with mcp and free integrations.
Early Access Program
Modelfront offers early access with free migration support, ai credits, and custom integrations for selected companies.
OpenLoc Launch Details
Openloc was announced at tech week 2026 with speakers from google, microsoft, deepL, modelfront, and others.
What OpenLoc Means
Modelfront compares openloc to google supporting chrome and android, allowing teams to use any ai while keeping quality.
