Happy Scribe
Happy Scribe saves us a lot of time in generating transcripts and subtitles. We have used other services, including human transcription, and really find Happy Scribe to be adequate for a starting point. Even human transcription isn't perfect when the transcriptionist isn't familiar with the domain and specific vocabulary used.

Localize
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.

Alternatives Considered
Happy Scribe
For our use, Happy Scribe's machine translation is nearly as accurate as the human translation services we used before at considerably lower cost. The web app is better designed than either of the others we tried, though we haven't used those alternatives in the past several years

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