Phrase

Pros: In general it is an acceptable system with one deal-breaking flaw.

Cons: You have an allotted quota of words you can upload. And it counts every word. If you are uploading words for an offer let's say that counts fully toward your quota. So, you are pitching for a large project, well you are blowing your quota with no return. So that means we have to run Trados in addition to prepare offers. In our case, there was a bug and we needed to upload and re-upload a file. That was a large file, and with that one file, we used-up our entire quota for the coming three month period as we had just paid. That is very unlikely.

Pros: Fijn in het gebruik en het werkt met vele bestandsformaten

Cons: Plots ging mijn driemaandelijkse bedrag van 66 EUR naar 250 EUR zonder enig bericht. Het bedrag werd simpelweg afgehouden. Inmiddels ben ik meer dan 3 weken over en weer aan het mailen om een terugbetaling te krijgen. In plaats daarvan krijg ik als antwoord enkel help-artikelen. Ik kan het abonnement niet stopzetten, ik krijg geen refund en ik krijg simpelweg geen mens te spreken. Je kan op de site alleen een afspraak inboeken voor een demo. Daar houdt het op.

Pros: It works. It's not too terrible to use. Once you've got the flow going, it's fine.

Cons: The UI is very clunky Their billing/accounts team are super slow to respond and refuse to cancel my plan. I tried to cancel in March and the UI said it wasn't renewing but it did anyway. They say they want 30 days notice but they ignored my request and pinged me for 3 months instead. I would not use this company again or recommend them after this.

Pros: It's online, which is useful. Other than that, nothing.

Cons: This is one of the worst CAT tools I have used in my 30 years as a translator. Not enough functions, and those that are included, are not working properly! Something as simple as inserting strings using the F8 key does not work on a Mac, even when pairing it with the fn key (or any other key combinations). The tags also show up as a series of symbols, so translating any strings with tags take forever. When working on texts with a lot of strings, you will spend twice as long on the translation compared to other CAT tools!Finally, their customer department take a long time to reply to any queries.

Pros: Very easy to use and offers great support

Cons: For my business, it is not the best that the payment is three months and not monthly

Pros: Translation under the hands of specialists in the field is enjoyable

Cons: It needs more development and lacks translation in Arabic

Pros: It is easily used and I felt like I got used to it very fast after using it for the first time.

Cons: I feel like the only con is not getting a great text overview when writing/editing the segments.

Pros: It is easy to use once you had someone show it to you how to use it. User friendly once you know how to use the features. Pretty accurate when translating from English into Croatian.

Cons: It is not very intuitive if you want to use additional features that can aid the translation process.

Pros: The fact that you can revert almost every thing in the tool is amazing. This means that as a project manager, you can save a lot of times recreating projects just because you need to update the files, information or any other thing.

Cons: In order to work with Excel files with character limitation, there is a massive con that implies a lot of heavy file-handling to set up the projects making them not really effective.

Pros: I like how easy the product is to use. It's resources help me a lot to optimize my workflow and deliver the translations with the best quality possible, ensuring coherence in terms of terminology, for instance, and also making the translation process faster with the use of translation memories.

Cons: Sometimes the final archive, after you finish the translation and opens the document in the final format, has some parts missing - there have been one to three occasions in which this has happened to me in the past, causing my clients to request the missing parts and, somehow, harming my immage as a professional translator. I would also mention the price - since the changes to purchase a kind of signature instead of paying for the characteres used, for me, as a freelance translator from Brasil, it became quite expensive.

Pros: MemSource is user friendly, very pleasant to the eye, it has all features I expected to find, everything is very intuitive and when something goes wrong, support is available and is very efficient.

Cons: Price could be a little lower. I cannot think of anything else.

Pros: The smooth integration with Wordpress: super simple to setup and fully operational from day 1, without any technical hurdles. That's really important if you have a multilingual website. Also, they support agents reply quickly, kindly and efficiently.

Cons: QA features could be improved. There are currently no checks for consistency, for example. This would be beneficial for both linguists and PMs. Also, the Jobs view could be improved by showing all steps for each file in the same dashboard, instead of having to change step to see the status of each file. That would improve the experience from a PM perspective.

Pros: This product was born in the cloud, therefore it works seamlessly with any cloud based CAT tools.

Cons: It would be great if there were any training support services that would help Memsource users to adequate their processes to the platform. It would also be great if Memsource technicians were available to do conference calls and screen sharing sessions.

Pros: Easy to use - especially as it's cloud-based, it can be integrated with Plunet although the connector is not working properly when assigning linguists

Cons: Colour and bold tags in PPT as it doesn't respect grammar of non-English markets

Pros: Quite simple project and translation interfaces

Cons: The research tool has an issue with apostrophe symbol recognition. This is of importance in French when translating speeches/interview transcriptions.

Pros: There are the preview function and QA check, and I especially like them. Especially QA is easier than others.

Cons: It would be nice if the operation when approving a task could be simpler and omitted.

Pros: The software combines so many diverse and useful features into an all-in-one package. There was no need to use any other tool, you could simply complete your project from start to finish using this software.

Cons: Our biggest problem was that the ideal engine we wanted to use, Google Translate, would not incorporate well with the Memsource software because the language we were using, Central Kurdish, had two separate tags. On Memsource, it was "Central Kurdish", but on Google Translate, it was "Kurdish Sorani". These two tags refer to the exact same language, but since they have different names, we could not use Google Translate in our workflow. It was frustrating how a small tag error like this prevented us from the machine translation part of the software.

Pros: Reliability, ease of use, and productivity enhancement.

Cons: Memsource satisfies all of my requirements.

Pros: Collaboration and updates on the fly for both PMs and translators

Cons: When you have a multilingual project and you are about to upload your source document for translation, you don't have an option to unselect all languages. This means that if you have different sources for different languages you have to manually unselect the languages you don't want to translate for that specific document, instead of clicking 'unselect all' and then select only the language of choice.

Pros: Memsource does pretty much everything I would expect from a CAT tool. Support is super reactive when we have any questions. We are using it on a daily basis, we couldn't live without Memsource.

Cons: We had some struggle to use the Machine Translation feature at the beginning. But we had a meeting with Memsource, and everything was crystal clear afterwards (again, great support).

Pros: Memsource is easy to use and it has enough functions for an ordinary user like me, who would directly translate the document and sometimes outsource to others when I'm busy.

Cons: So far nothing dislike. But Memsource team can expand the function 'Convert to Memsource tags', such as tag preview and make it a preset.

Pros: Memsource is very intuitive and overall easy to use.

Cons: Managing projects with multiple files per language can be a little time-consuming.
