Transifex

PROS & CONS

What are the best aspects of this product?

Transifex is a great localization platform for software developers and development teams. It is modeled after popular source code repositories like Github so it's not difficult to use. At the same time, it has editing features that translators can work with easily. It can be used as a standalone system for managing string catalogs along with ordinary documents or can be used with other systems.

What aspects are problematic or could work better?

Transifex is not really designed for managing document translation. If you do more content translation, it's probably not the ideal tool to use for that and you need to look elsewhere for that solution. It's built more for software localization, as it was designed by software developers in the first place.

What specific problems in your company were solved by this product?

We use it as a key tool in our software localization process. It is integrated with our build servers so the system picks up new prompts to be translated as soon as new builds are pushed. Meanwhile, our language service providers have an easy time working with the materials we need translated.

PROS & CONS

What are the best aspects of this product?

Transifex is a huge company. And yet, they go out of their way to personalize the service and support they offer. Whenever I had questions or problems, they always did their best to answer and to provide a solution.

What aspects are problematic or could work better?

If there is anything I do not like, it would be the complicated permission configuration. Though we have an internal team, we also would like to use an external team for translations for whom we have to provide certain access. However, we have to put them all together in one team because of this limitation.

What specific problems in your company were solved by this product?

Our product is now translated into more than a dozen languages because Transifex has been great in localizing our content. And through this solution, we have been able to improve our translation process and remove the mistakes that we would commit previously.

PROS & CONS

What are the best aspects of this product?

The interface is user-friendly and there is a ton of tools that help me manage multiple strings at a time. Our workflow has also been enhanced by the filtering capability of the app.

What aspects are problematic or could work better?

Configuring Transifex for the first time was a difficult process so we were forced to have a workaround so we could do our tasks during the time. It would be great if they include the image upload capability to the standard option, even if they have to limit the file size, and not exclusive to advanced. Moreover, I would like it if I have more control over the notifications I receive.

What specific problems in your company were solved by this product?

Our content is more manageable thanks to Transifex because we no longer have to handle multiple files in different platforms
