Phrase Localization Platform

Formerly Memsource

Particularly helpful when you have huge files. I've always worked with TMs and TBs provided by clients, so I don't have experience creating them from scratch. But what I like the most about Memsource is that it has a user-friendly interface where you have all you need during translation.

I've specifically recommended Memsource to project managers looking for a cloud-based solution that enabled them to work with freelancers that didn't require those freelancers to have expensive licenses of their own. It's a very agile solution.

Well suited: Recurring translation projects where using a TM will help lower the cost of translation. Less appropriate: Translation that do not require a 1:1 translation and more transcreation.

I think Memsource is well suited for translations and great for beginners since it is quick and easy to use. I can basically work from everywhere around the world, as long as I have an internet connection. This is a great plus! Another big advantage is the search function, which is quite easy to use. The User interface as a whole looks simple and clear. The Preview function is also very helpful since I can directly see how my translation will be presented and re-read it for mistakes. Out of all the CAT tools I have worked with (e. g. Trados Studio, memoQ), I like Memsource the most, since Memsource is just easier to use overall, allowing you to work faster and be more productive. Another benefit is that I can decline a job from the get-go directly on the web surface, without having to inform my client. Furthermore the Instant QA feature helps save time at the end of the translation.

Memsource is appropriate in any scenario where you would use a CAT.

Memsource is easy to use and I like using it for any type of translation work, but when the source texts contain tags, they tend to generate issues that cannot be solved due to the difference in characteristics between source and target languages, so they bring me headaches. But you cannot know if the source texts contain tags until you open the file and take a look at the contents...

Because it's so easy to use, I'd say it's well suited for any situation where you regularly need to make translations.

For teams where team members are in different parts of the world, and different time zones.

I'd recommend Memsource to any business dealing in translation work. This software offers both offline and online options for translators. It has a friendly user interface and is easy to pick up and learn.

Memsource was able to help me translate terms, catch spelling and punctuation errors, and remind me to use TM when I come across a similar sentence in the source text that I already translated.

The client delivers the text without filtering the online tags for some eLearning products, primarily webpage-generated eLearning, and Memsource may have a mechanism to filter the web tags for the actual translation, for instance.

Is well suited for videogames with several strings. It allows you to focus in each string separately and look for tags cautiously. Also, the shortcuts are really useful for games translation. Doing LQA Testing is also easy and it shows you clearly the errors in the segments, so you can fix them asap. In other translation ambits such as literary, it is not very appropiate.

I like the advanced filters in editing view and also analyzing word counts is fast and effective. It really makes my job more difficult if we need to open every single language separately and confirm the segments in editor, instead of doing it from the main site. Also users are not active if there is no file assigned to them--trouble starts when you want to assign the task to them and they cannot be picked from a drop down.

It happened many times where I was requested to translate some material urgently, after the relevant team made some changes to the translation I provided already. Memsource Translation Memory came in handy where it detected exactly where the changes were, which saved me a ton of time, as I just made the necessary edits rather than translating from scratch. Also, in my day to day translation, I come across a lot of repeated content. Memsource detects this content and confirms it automatically in all segments so I don't have to go through it again.

It is very appropriate for the translation of files in various formats. Whether you are an individual translator or part of a team, this can be used comfortably and you can track the progress easily. It is not very appropriate for any creative work (that is, it always expects a source and a target.)

Memsource is suited when you want to manage and translate documents with a big translation team and information and data have to be shared and built together. Memsource is not suited for subtitling and localization projects as well as for companies with new clients and areas of expertise and acting coming up all the time, regarding the insertion of project database taking too long to start the project.

It is difficult to mention the good and bad in particular because only the homepage has been translated. Memsource is a great translation tool based on only the home page.

For translation, it has been well suited. The problem I had was with the project manager, but they somehow solved it with the beta which is still a work in progress.

Memsource is particularly useful if you are translating complex documents that require good formatting skills, like PDFs or PowerPoint presentations, as it does all the formatting for you.

I use Memsource as a computer-assisted translation tool for Japanese-English academic texts. The program is excellent for maintaining a running comprehensive termbase across projects. Its search and replace features, coupled with the way it breaks down text and its filters, are outstanding for making seamless modifications across a whole project if you change your mind on a term later on, and for cross-checking with other sections of the paper. I use Memsource for all translation projects, from 500-character abstracts to 20-page full-length papers.

I recommend the free version of Memsource for translators processing small to middle-sized files, and would definitely recommend upgrading if the need to process larger files arise. I have not yet used the Team version, but I guess it runs with the same efficiency.

I find the system excellent for the translation of small items up to 100 words. However, where it tends to transcribe and not translate the function will need improvement - source language syntax in the translated form does not always compute.

Memsource is well suited for any translator as well as translation agency. You save all translated segments in a cloud - they cannot get stuck in your computer - you can instantly deliver without having to write an email, and you can search older translations for terminology very easily. Clear layout, easy to use. But when you try to use the trial version, you don't get the quality of MT as you get when it is paid for. So not good for one-off translations. Thank you for the product.

The translation of big texts with repetitions can be perfectly done in Memsource. Last time I worked on a big project with one company. The project contained about 15 documents with repetitions. Thanks to Memsource I combined these documents in one working file and saved a lot of time for translation. Small projects without repetitions can be translated manually.

I love that I can work on multiple projects in multiple languages and still have the ability to move effortlessly between them as needed.
