Trados Studio

Pros: I liked the product after doing a trial, so my organization decided to buy it. Customer service is bad.

Cons: The customer service is abysmal. My organization purchased the product in March, they cashed our check, but have not provided the full license we purchased. They say they are still awaiting payment.

Pros: Powerful tool and one of the first of its kind

Cons: Too big of a learning curve. Interface is not too user friendly.

Pros: The software functions (if they would only work like they're supposed to)

Cons: Absolutely riddled with bugs that have been around for years and years. I used to update to each new version (no longer wasting the money), hoping they would have taken care of some of the bugs. But they never do. And then there are new ones. Absolutely inexcusable for such an expensive software.

Pros: It has lots of options that allow you to do practically anything you want. It is the industry standard, which allows you to work with others easily.

Cons: It's complex, buggy, the layout is clumsy, features and options are hidden deep within the belly of the beast, and Trados' editor forces the use of their proprietary formats, which makes everyone's lives harder.

Pros: Complete professional translation environment

Cons: - Documentation - Such features as term extraction cost extra

Pros: It can handle big translation memories, is multifunctional for almost any type of text or format.

Cons: It sometimes has a bug, is not always straightforward to use, as it requires time to understand all of its functions. The price...

Pros: It saves from repetitions, it uses Memories, Machine Translation

Cons: Its startup is sluggish though I naised memory to 16 mB RAM. It would be better to load after full openinğ.

Pros: Nothing. It wastes a lot of my time in troubleshooting every single time.

Cons: $7a

Pros: Very precise, very commonly used in translation industry, does its job well.

Cons: Expensive, somehow slow, not very user friendly.

Pros: It really speed up my translations. The Machine Translations are really accurate.

Cons: It takes a little time to get to know all the functionalities. It can be a little overwhelming at the beginning.

Pros: Apprezzo la traduzione automatica tramite l'utilizzo di memorie di traduzione e il fatto che mantenga lo stesso layout

Cons: La maggior parte delle memorie sono a pagamento nonostante il software sia carissimo

Pros: Supporta diverse tipologie di file e di formati

Cons: La grafica e l'interfaccia utente sembra arretrata e non è user friendly

Pros: オンライン・オフライン両方の機能が使えるし、機能が盛りだくさんなおかげで、Tradosが使えれば他のCATツールも大体の物が使えると思います。

Cons: 結構、頻繁にエラーや不具合が発生します。

Pros: That it facilitates third-party neural machine-based translation engines like DeepL.

Cons: The UI feels a bit old-fashioned and sometimes overcrowded.

Pros: Trados supports a lot more file formats than any other CAT tool. If I compare Trados to Memsource, it is more sophisticated, and has more applications; and the translator if he/her has some time to spend can customize the software and use its advantages to the fullest. A very good feature - 100% matches copy and confirm themselves. No need for the Internet. You just need your computer and a valid TRADOS version.

Cons: $7b

Pros: It has many likeable features which are updated frequently and work very well.

Cons: Sometimes the software is hard to use and you need special training to understand and use the product.

Pros: It is very easy to understand and to use. You can easily go to the workflow section and once you have learned the main features (how to use TM and TB, add/remove tags, go to the next segment, etc) you will procede at high speed.

Cons: Sometimes the review mode is inserted without having chosen it.

Pros: I did not like much actually. I had great expectations but in the end I was a bit frustrated.

Cons: It is confusing. I expected much from the product as it is very popular. But the price is way too high and what it offers is not something we can`t find in other similar products.

Pros: We use this software because we have to. We're a translation company and our clients ask us to use this tool. They made an investment in Trados Studio years or even decades ago and they are reluctant to change. There is nothing really we like about this tool. However, we have to use it daily.

Cons: $7c

Pros: It works offline. No need for Internet connection. Sometimes that is very important. Great functionality.

Cons: If TM is huge, it is necessary to have powerful PC.

Pros: Many features, options, smart actions, integration with other tools, many add-ons (also third party add-ons). It is extremely good CAT tool, and in my opinion it is the best CAT tool right now.

Cons: Licensing. It is unbelievable how licensing can annoy users who paid for the software and how it is limiting them (binding to a specific hardware, server activation/deactivation - terrible when the site is down for maintenance and you need to switch the license from your office computer to home computer for some weekend work).

Pros: This software is standard within the translation business and therefore a must-have for every professional translator. The software can be very powerful once you have learned to master it.

Cons: The learning curve is very steep, the user interface is counter-intuitive, bordering on byzantine. Even for power users with many years of use, this software never ceases to confuse. The development has stalled, which means that competing software is now just as good, or better, but Trados Studio is still a must-have due to its ubiquity.

Pros: There's a reason Trados is considered the standard for CAT tools across the industry. Not only is it one of the largest as far as functionality, but it's our #1 litmus test for not only our linguists but also our team members. Even if somebody never touches translation directly, it's important for them to know and understand how Trados works and how our software can integrate with it. I also personally love the videos and resources that are available to help troubleshoot any issues. Since it so widely used, there are also large communities of users that share tips and solutions that work for them.

Cons: I feel like this is probably the complaint I see the most often, that Trados can be "clunky," unintuitive, and slow. It definitely has some quirks in those areas, but as long as you realize that when you're getting on, that it's just going to take as long as it takes and you're patient with it then it goes great.
