| Most helpful review | I must say there are many tools that are much better and more translator-friendly... The tool has many drawbacks, i.e.:
- it is very difficult to go through a translation and do global changes
- there is no proper concordance search - the one there is does not open in a second window, but always takes you away from the phrase you are currently translating. Very annoying.
- it is very difficult to maintain consistency across very similar phrases (often previous translations are not offered as fuzzy matches)
- it is not possible to open two similar documents at once, i.e. you cannot refer back and forth between both of them
- there is not proper speedy spellcheck function
- you cannot display invisible characters (i.e. blank spaces between words)
- there is no possibility for the translator to view the translation in final layout before handing it back to the agency/client
etc. etc.26 out of 26 found this review helpful.
Read more reviews → | Excellent online tool with a good team I am using this tool since 2009 on a daily basis. The big advantage is that you are working in real time with your client or the project manager. The tool is free to use for the translator. It is also very intuitive and I have never lost data. The tags are extremely easy to implement. You can also use the tool offline, of course. I highly recommend it for building a long term relationship (yes!) with a client. Once the system is running, it is a breeze to use.

Years of working with translation led us to design Text United: a proven, industry-standard suite of tools for professionals and beginners. Today, in response to a growing demand, we’re taking translation to another level and introducing the first-ever translation process that brings your business directly to international customers.
We have built a first-of-its-kind translation platform, equipped with every tool a translator and his client may need, without the hassle of complex, agency-based workflows.
Our customers invite each other to the platform, take advantage of free services and have a strong sense of control over the translation of their content.
We take businesses abroad through a different approach to translation. Text United is powered by a cloud-based translation memory technology, which prevents translators from translating a sentence twice, gets workflows out of the way and focuses on what really matters: quality, controlled, international content. |
