Cons

“TMGMT module as a connection module from GlobalLink to Drupal is buggy and complex.”

Jennifer F.

Product Owner, International Websites

“Bit frustrated at the technical issues that pop up and getting them resolved, but issue is not always on GL's side.”

Carla M.

Manager, Media Team

“Requires a lot of integration and the support across variety of features may not be as clear”

Clara S.

Program manager

Cons

“At times, though Google Translate has provided transparent passthrough of HTML with no issue, we have had issues with content tags not being accepted via API for Intercom, which means that formatting of tables and rich text has been lost via automatic translation. ”

Matt C.

Product and Customer Experience

“Still, the team remains cautious about security and nuances; sensitive client data is never pasted in, and some complex financial wording still needs manual review.”

Camila R.

Financial Advisor

“When the text is very specific, sometimes Google Translate is missing the context and human judgement is required.”
