  • Jumping between segments based on segment status.
  • Sharing platform.
  • Clear, essential interface with no unnecessary commands.
  • Suggest possible translations from TM during QA.
  • Performing the QA can be time-consuming because you need to reload frequently.
  • The projects overview homepage can be messy, especially when you have different pending projects for the same client.

  • Translation Memory always up-to-date and complete
  • It ensures consistency
  • Allows you to work on any device
  • Customisation of some functionalities might be improved, but they are really insignificant compared to the great pliability of the system

  • The QA tool it provides is practical and always handy.
  • Instant QA feature can save time at the end of the process.
  • The possibility to decline a job directly from the platform instead of having to contact the client by email.
  • I find the "net rates" (weighted word count) somehow misleading; I have been confused into thinking the project was short, but then it was due to the fact that many similar segments had been counted as fewer words than real (due to their similarity).
  • I would like to have the "lock segments" feature more handy (I know the project creator does, but I, as a linguist sometimes need to forget about a few segments and focus on the rest).
  • I would like to be able to exclude 100% matches from the QA process (when I don't have to check those segments).

  • Display of matching TM data..
  • Indication of repetitions and ability to specify as exception.
  • Display of glossary terms.
  • Easy-to-use search function.
  • In the case of EN to JA translation, we enter text and then convert it to get the correct final text (word or phrase) which uses correct Chinese character(s), as there are often multiple Chinese characters with the same reading but different meanings. When those conversion options are displayed, it is usually possible to change our selection among them by hitting the Tab key, but in Memsource, hitting the Tab key makes us leave the text conversion and move to the source segment, so we must make sure to use arrow keys to choose the right conversion option when using Memsource.
  • When there are tag elements used in the source text, the tags must exist in the target text of course, but the tag order also must be the same. The tags cannot be moved around in the segment, which causes problems in the case of the Japanese language, because the word order differs between EN and JA.
  • In the Japanese language, Italics are basically not used, so there must be no texts between the tags which specify Italic font. But then the segment cannot be confirmed and the job status cannot be changed to "Complete".

  • Capacity to seamlessly store and build translation memories and term bases.
  • Capacity to easily assign projects to various providers.
  • Ease of use and friendly user interface.
  • I'd love to see better filter options in the projects tab. When having 50-100 active projects it can be hard to find specifics.

  • Translation Memories to keep record of previous translation work
  • Detailed analysis
  • Machine translation engines
  • Easy UI
  • The ability to find/replace a certain word in translation memory or term base without having to export
  • Unlimited machine translation characters for high volume jobs
  • Segments with big content tend to lag sometimes, which forces me to do the translation offline (in Word) then copy/paste it into the segment. This is the most major point for me which I hope can be fixed soon.
