Wordbee vs. XTRF

It is easy to view two columns of source and target, and when using the filter to see just untranslated segments. TM and matches can be seen and differentiated easily. Scenarios where it is less appropriate are their spellcheck and filter areas, which could be improved by adding more options.

In my experience, XTRF's track record on basic functionality leaves a lot to be desired. Those so-called "smart projects" feel more like needy projects, with limitations popping up at every turn. And don't get me started on the integrations—memoQ? Yeah, I feel like it's a struggle. Customizing notifications? Good luck with that. And as for support, well, let's just say you're better off sending messages to the void.

• Different colors to differentiate the status of the segment. One can click on the segment and change the color for the segments that were translated and those that still need to be reviewed.
• Machine translation interface. There are three different machine translators at the side of the segments.
• TM can be seen with matches highlighted at the side.

• Find and replace option could be improved to be easier.
• The filter could have more options.
• Spellcheck and QA need to be improved because I can not see it as an option in the online interface of my client. I need to download the document to do the spell check, and then correct the errors with the find and replace option.

I did not choose Wordbee, but I use it with one of my clients who provides my login details.

• Saving time with the help of the tool with the TM and machine translation options.
• Having knowledge-- knowing how to use this tool helps to get new clients who also use this tool.
• I can add it to my CV and, depending on the workload, I may consider buying it.

• In my opinion, the limitations in functionality, especially with smart projects and integrations with tools like memoQ, have hindered the full realization of its potential.
