Thanks for the review!
It is frequently updated, one does not have to load to the PC a lot of volume, as everything is stored in their server, there is a bright project management and clients always get the best quality feasible.
Pros
Simple to handle, good terminology management, - and the client can see the progress (if wished) and give terminology advice if needed.
Cons
No cons available, as it is state of the art.

Hi Patricia,
Thank you for your kind review. Would you be able to raise the issues about the bugs which are not solved yet to your Account Manager? Thank you in advance. All the best!
The best part: multiple translators can work on an urgent project without compromising consistency -- because it is cloud based, content from multiple translators working simultaneously on a project syncs automatically.
Pros
Ease use, functionality, collaboration due to cloud technology
Cons
Like any cloud-based service, there is time spent waiting on data to save to the server.

I also like the interface and multiple features such as being able to search for terms in the text and correct mistakes automatically when desired.
Pros
I liked that it is very similar to various CAT tools, the possibility to use both online interface and desktop app and I was very pleasantly suprised it was MT of great quality.
Cons
I hoped there would be a mobile app sooner and the process of creating invoices is somehow too complicated and could be automatical.

Hello Pierre,
Thank you for your kind review. Also, thank you for the tip, I will pass it forward to the correct person. All the best.
It's really fast for an online CAT tool (which can also be used in offline mode).
Pros
Besides being a fully-featured and fast CAT tool, I love the fact that it keeps a record of all the projects I have done and also their budgets.
Cons
It would have been nice if I it offered you the ability to import your own term bases.

Hi Kurtcebe,
Thank you for your kind and detailed review. We wish you all the best.
The translation memory feature is the best example of this, and saves an uncountable number of hours by automatically completing words that have been translated before.
I have been working for years as a translator for this agency and I am very happy with our collaboration. For me, this software is better than Trados.
Pros
To be able to review translations online is very helpful. Customer service is good and friendly.
Cons
Usability could be better over all: Search and filter functions (across all packages) / Reaction times / Dialogues ...

Together with [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN], we developed a few functions for the standard interce, which saved us from setting up our own inhouse translation tool.
Pros
No Need to go with some homemade Excel list or tool to organise, translate and track your translations.
Cons
I can't answer that, because there was no downside for us :)

Our company website is built in Angular 2, and we needed to translate it into Chinese and English.
Pros
Works great with Angular 2 Dictionary makes sure that translations from previous projects are matched automatically.
Cons
The desktop tool is a little bit hard to understand at first sight, but after a Skype chat with their support it made sense.

Recommendations to others considering Text United
The desktop tool is a must-have but can be a bit hard to understand, TextUnited support can give you some training.
Pros
The easy procedure to start the translations with our partners.
Cons
It would be helpful if "template" projects could be generated, so that only the translation files must be upload.

Hello Thomas,
Thank you for your review and for sharing your opinion. We appreciate it a lot. Also thank you for the great tip! I have passed it forward to the right person. All the best.
Pros
It is very easy to use and has a very nice design.
Cons
When translating, it doesn't add segments to TM when the segments haven't been approved by a PM. That repeats effort on translators.

Hello Jan,
Thank you for the kind review, and we are very happy you are enjoying using our system. All the best.
There are some minor drawbacks in the user interface (e. g. you can't remap the shortcuts or need to confirm each repetition manually), but they don't bother the user much.
Finding a solution to make managing projects easier for me is top priority for TextUnited.
Pros
Web-based, easy to use interface. Working with TextUnited has been amazing.
Cons
Creating multiple projects per language, we support 22 languages at my company and having to manage 22 downloads is labor intensive.
