    Score8 out of 10
    N/AAmazon Translate is a neural machine translation service used for language translation.

    I use Amazon Translate plug-in in my regular translation
    work. I realized that it does better in marketing and general texts. It still
    suffers from some shortcomings when it comes to the specific linguistic
    feature of Arabic. It makes some grammatical mistakes. It does not sound
    natural in some instances because of using uncommon word combinations.

    In my experiences while using Google Translate, it has used certain words that translated in a different dialect. For example, there are different dialects of Spanish and Google Translate should be able to recognize each one. Mexico Spanish is different from Puerto Rico Spanish, Spain and other Spanish countries. There should be a translation for each dialect.

    Transifex is great for when you have content you intend to 1) localize to multiple languages and 2) keep updated over time. It's probably not necessary for one-off projects that you expect to stand the test of time. It's also ideal for companies that intend to add more and more languages over time as business expands

    • Once you have a lot of resources in a project, ordering gets tricky because there's one long list of resources. I wish I could search for the resource when ordering.
    • When you import your resources from another source, it will overwrite any changes you made to the translated article. For example, we stopped creating localized screenshots in our documentation because the images would be overwritten with the original English ones anytime we made updates.

    It is an easy program to use and it works in all Microsoft Office apps. It comes in handy when you need something translated quickly.

    Support has always been easy and fast. Anytime something has come up, we have gotten a quick response and had our issue resolved. Bugs don't seem to stick around for very long either. Seems like their Customer Success and Support groups are in great sync with each other, which always has a positive impact on the customer experience

    I use Google Translate and Amazon Translate. I find them both helpful. What I like more about Amazon Translate is that I can control the privacy of my files. The text entered into Google Translate enters its database and might be used for further improvement of their service; however, I do not like exposing the data of my clients to a third party. Therefore, I find Amazon Translate wins by large in this regard.

    Microsft translator is also a very good translator but it has limited language support also it was very expensive at the time when we were looking for a transaltion service when compared to Google Translate. The other reason why we selected this was because we were already using other google products.

    • Fewer people needed - without Transifex, we would probably have to hire more staff to many just the localization projects.
    • Meet business demand quickly - now that we are set up with our Transifex flow, adding a new language is relatively easy and we know exactly when to expect the final product to deliver to customers.
