The integration of machine translation is great, providing a valuable tool for quickly producing drafts that can then be refined through human expertise. The flexible post-editing options and customizable quality assurance checks ensure that the final output meets the highest linguistic and professional standards.

  • Performance has been an issue initially. Sometimes it takes longer for some things to load and it can be frustrating.
  • UI seems a bit confusing at times. For example, I don't understand why I need to have a translator's profile when I'm clearly a project manager.
  • Their support team can take a long time to reply which often crucial for urgent projects.
