    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.

    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.

    If you need a quick turnaround for quoting your end users. If you like to have a self service portal to manage your projects.The translation quality is pretty good and just in case you have any issues with it there is always a scope for feedback.

    Pros
    Localize
    • 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.

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

    TransPerfect
    • 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.

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

    TransPerfect
    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.

    TransPerfect
    • 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
