Pros

“You literally drop one line of JS code, and it auto-detects pretty much all your website text (static and dynamic) without breaking anything.”

“It made the process of turning a website multilingual much more organized and less dependent on manual work.”

“Productivity services help you use OCR and machine translation. If you complete your profile to 100% and get at least three ratings, you will get regular work from businesses worldwide.”

Cons

“The only downside is that we have to manage multiple environments and adjust language on each one.”
SO

Sonja O.

Product

Cons

“Shortcuts could be better, you cannot see hidden characters, cannot add specific tags (upper/lower index, etc.), most translators tend to work without touching the mouse, this software makes you break this habit, which is annoying (one second each segment means many minutes/hours in the long run), not very smart navigation within the segment (double down moves you to the end of the segment which is terrible if you just need to edit something in the third line of this segment, etc.)”

“It is a pity for a translator that each new platform has to create new database.”
