DeepL vs. Localize vs. TransPerfect GlobalLink

The integration is very easy implemented with email client or web browser, you can translate emails, web pages and quality of translation is on top. Regarding document translation it gives you only 3 formats of documents (.pdf, .pptx and .docx), in my experience this type of documents are sufficient, however it would be better to see other type of documents as well. Also, you have to convert your old document in Word or PowerPoint to latest version, otherwise program won't accept it.

Localized fits perfectly for clients who would love to have their website localized. It offers great plugins and integrations with popular content management systems and serves as a translation management system for your website. Setup is rather easy, however, more complex setups would require a more technical approach which is not always possible.

It's effective for translating technical content, but there are faster, more intuitive, and visually cleaner tools that are out there. It's a bit clunky and requires too many different steps for different things in my opinion.

• language-to-language translation of written text
• document translation
• translation parts of text on the web with one click
• instant translation of text on images
• multiple choice in "idioms"

• Super easy integration - it takes one minute to add and configure the Localize WordPress plugin.
• Convenient Admin - it is straight forward to add a project, get the API key and start adding translations.
• Front End display - the switch between language is intuitive and efficient. It loads all languages super fast.

Incentivized

• The glossary is good to work with

Incentivized

• Limits of the free version: 5MB and 5000 words. No problems with the paid version
• Because it is the only software that translates documents while preserving the images and design of the original, it sometimes makes errors in output with aesthetically complex layouts

Incentivized

• Providing other features, beyond language. Such as replacing images or other content to allow a fully tailored website for each country.

• Slow, bugs and errors aren't uncommon, logs you out suddenly, sometimes doesn't save what you've worked on even if you commit/save strings
• No shortcut-available, you have to mouse-click a lot, makes work less intuitive
• Confusing interface
• Not sure if it's the tasks' setup once they're sent to linguists, but sometimes almost exact matches don't show up automatically. You have to search bits of a sentence to hopefully find an exact match that had been translated before, but for some reason didn't show as a suggestion. That takes up a huge amount of time.

Very simple to use website.

Great support documentation is available on their platform and can solve 95% of your queries. Other queries are often resolved in a timely fashion and with attention to detail.

DeepL thanks to AI produces results identical to Google Translate or in many cases much better and closer to reality.This helps a lot, especially when translating and reading long documents (instead of testing our patience to understand the translated meaning of technical documents).In addition, features such as translating text to images via ocr is amazing and very fast in both input (keyboard shortcut) and output.

Frankly, we don't know what other translation management systems are out there, so we can't comment on how they compare to Localize.

It's the slowest of them all and the design/interface/usability is a little 1990. I also don't feel as confident that it will save my work to the cloud like the others do, because it has logged me out suddenly and didn't save the last strings I had worked on, even if I had committed them and saved them.

• I am one step ahead of Italian competitors by training abroad
• I started parallel businesses to my business by comparing myself to foreign realities
• I easily communicate with the support of the foreign software I use for work and with entrepreneurs all over the world, before I would have avoided so as not to lose temp

Incentivized

• Localize was setup and running on 4 websites in under 8 weeks.
• Project was delivered well under budget with minimal problems.

• Positive: Helps with content consistency (using the same terms/phrase matches throughout the years)
• Positive: Good glossary building for repeated, technical terms and names
• Negative: I feel it slows work down rather than speeding it up, which is the idea behind using a CAT tool
