Crowdin

XTM Cloud

Web-based

Windows

Translator

The fact that it is only available with an Internet connection limits its use because sometimes you have no Internet availability (for example when on journey).

It's a powerful tool, very well suited for a work chain with well-established processes.

Perfect all in one translation management solution.

The tool is online only - there is no offline editor. 100% matches are not being pulled into files automatically.

I was doing trial because of their low price. Their sales team is great.

TRANSLATOR

It's the best Cat tool I have ever used. It makes my job much easier, as it should be.

Very simple and easy to use, without those cluttered interface and features (you barely use or need) that you find in most Cat tools. I don't have to worry about back-ups.

Freelance Translator

I was afraid I had to learn to use yet another complicated tool, but XTM is super easy to use and intuitive. I can use the licence provided by the client and easily work online.

Linguist

Mi experience with the tool has been bittersweet.

It doesn't work with the speech recognition software I usually use - which is no big issue for smaller project, but a bit annoying for longer ones.

Trados Studio

Mi experience with the tool has been bittersweet. It is a usable tool that will get the job done and you will be able to improve if you invest (time and money) in It. On the other hand, other similar tools are more capable and reliable from the get go.

Decent tool with limitations 

Worst CAT tool at the moment

Great tool to centralize all translations

Not easy to use CAT

Dear XTM Cloud User,

Oh no! Sounds like you're not happy with our product, which is a shame.

I'm really sorry to hear that - but I'd like to help! Would some training be helpful? We are aware our UI needs a little refresh, which is in progress, but we can help you make the best of XTM Cloud in the meantime! Just let us know :) You can contact us here: https://xtm.cloud/contact/

XTM slows down our productivity, prompting us to charge our clients higher prices. If at all, XTM is a solution for small and recurrent Continuous Localization projects.

Review of XTM

Dear XTM Cloud user,

I'm so sorry to hear you're not happy with our solution! Let me see if I help with some of the issues you are experiencing.

It seems some of the points you raised are configuration options that your client can tailor to meet your needs. With that in mind, it may be beneficial to work with your client to agree on the project configurations that work best for you both? Also, although it is not yet possible to open and manage all project files within one session, it is possible to run a Find & Replace operation across all files. You would simply need to expand the "Options" in the Find and replace dialog and find the "Include segments from all files" option.

When it comes to being complex and not easy to use, I wonder if some training webinars would be beneficial? You can find a lot of content on our platform XTM On Demand. Or, you can contact us about training or raise a support ticket if anything isn't working as it should.

I hope this helps!

Love it

Thank you for your review - we really appreciate it! I'm glad to hear you found the tool easy to use and intuitive!
I'm sorry to hear it doesn't have all the features you need yet, but we're always improving our solution and adding new functionality to XTM Cloud - in fact, if you submit an idea via our Wish List (accessible here: https://xtm.cloud/ondemand/xtm-productboard/), it may get added to the roadmap!

Basic CAT-tool

This is not built by translators, period. It is clunky, it keeps closing down "for security reasons" (who invented that!?) and it is just super slow to work with. This software costs me a fortune in lost production time. I prefer any other option online and prefer to spend the money on reliable software like Trados. I have a client that is only working with this software, but I am thinking of ditching the client because this software is just an outright nightmare.
