I use Memsource daily for my largest clients as a freelance translator. It is easy to log in and get started right away. With the features of Accept and Complete, I always have a good view of what is New, To be Done, and Completed. As various clients of the same industry work with Memsource, the TM and the Search function are key for me to ensure high quality.
- Easy to accept projects
- Love the TM
- Love the feature of following the changes
- Search function is extremely helpful
- QA ensures consistency and makes me aware of any inconsistencies
- Adjusting the filters
- Find and replace
- A feature for deadlines would be helpful

I use Memsource for translation/editing of various kinds of content mainly from English to Japanese, such as Web site, e-learning, user guides, marketing materials, etc.
- 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".

User-friendly CAT tool that speeds up translations
Score 9 out of 10

Memsource is my preferred CAT tool because it is user-friendly and speeds up my work as a translator. Filtering segments is very easy.
On the other hand, it is hard to keep track of my progress when there are many locked segments as those are included in the word count progress.

- Filtering segments.
- QA results can be filtered by type so you don't waste time with false positive errors.
- Exporting bilingual documents.

Memsource: Your Translation Partner
Score 10 out of 10

Memsource allows me to analyze translation source files in any format and gives a clear indication of the work involved. It also helps me save time by reusing translations and by suggesting the right words while I am translating each sentence. In addition, when I work for clients, I can easily use the same interface I am familiar with. During that time, it also shows the client's style guide which helps me maintain the same tone. Another excellent feature I love about Memsource is its QA. It spots some common errors and also helps in automatically fixing them. Overall, I love using Memsource and would recommend it to freelance translators.
- Supporting Multiple File Formats.
- Saving time by reusing translations.
- Quality Assurance Checks.
- When using Tamil Unicode, sometimes the letters are not shown properly and typing is also difficult.
- Offline translation (DOCX) is little confusing and difficult.
- Machine Translation for Tamil can be better.
Memsource is a very useful platform for translators. As a freelance translator, I use it in almost every project with several companies since 2016. Nice and user-friendly interface, rapidity of translation, handy termbases, and translation memories: this all positive features I can say while describing Memsource. The platform helps to establish good and easy professional communication between the translation company and the translator. Highly recommend.
- Fast and accurate target text substitution from translation memory
- Visualization of the original file at the bottom of the page
- Combination of several documents into one when translating
- Automatic saving of work progress
- Automatic text formatting
- Sometimes when I completed my work, the access to my Memsource account is blocked. It will be better to unblock it in this kind of situation
- Maybe add a progress line in percentage in Memsource editor. Сurrently I have to reload the main page in order to check my progress
- The machine translation should be available when needed without any restrictions

Memsource is your source!
I use it to translate Polish-English and English-Polish texts. Memsource is very easy to use, is user-friendly and works without faults or breakdowns. It's an excellent tool to use in business. I would recommend it to anyone who would like an easy and user-friendly tool. Great software from a great and helpful company.
- Quality check - excellent
- Showing TM results from which segments can be copied
- Navigation - very easy.
- Easy login.
- Find and replace - a little tool to do it without having to show segments in the filter option would be helpful.
- Creating a desktop (own) dictionary
- Possibility to export to a Word document (not bilingual)

Great cloud-based CAT tool
Score 9 out of 10
Vetted Review
Verified User
We are using Memsource as our main CAT tool and manage most of our projects there. Memsource is a cloud-based CAT tool and so easy to use compared to other CAT tools. Depending on your subscription, it gives you a certain number of translator users which you can create for your translators. You can create as many as you like but keep a certain amount active. This is a great feature because the translator doesn't have to have a paid license.
- Cloud-based
- TM and TB management
- Being able to create translator users
- It used to accept INDD files and convert them to IDML but now it doesn't. It's a big downgrade in my opinion.
- QA feature can be improved. Too many false positives and cannot be customised in detail.
- When another server assigns a project to our own server, it doesn't come up in the search function.

Tried many source, stayed with Memsource!
In our translation company, we use Memsource every day to process many different file types and get word count analysis which is helpful for our quote stage and then assign translators to actually do the work and deliver it back to us. We also use Memsorce to run quality assurance and ensure our delivery is up to standard.
- Processing files with Memsource is quite easy and it can understand the correct type and rules most of the time successfully.
- Setting up a project and assigning it, briefly getting something started and going ahead is simple which is great as we need speed and ease during the day when dealing with many simultaneous jobs.
- TM management is easier than some other CAT tools I tried, collecting all languages into a TM is creating less clutter.
- Definitely, it would be great to somehow improve the QA function, maybe by AI etc - but this needs to be studied and improved for each language separately. For example, Arabic is not particularly well functioning and creating false positives.
- It would have been great to select UK English as default EN instead of anytime we put a source file as English it understands US English and checks spelling by that which creates false positives.
- It was great to have the option to convert INDD to IDML but now it does not allow uploading INDD files thus we have to either get IDML from clients or convert ourselves but no one has an InDesign license waiting on each computer in a company.
We use Phrase to translate our site text into multiple languages so that users can select their preferred language across all our domains. Our translations are done both through Phrase's automated machine translation and by translators who then upload their work into Phrase. My company also makes all copy updates by creating keys and entering the text in Phrase, allowing us to make changes to our site text without involving development work (beyond the integration of the key). Phrase allows us to be flexible in making text and translation updates with minimal development effort.
- Creating and assigning jobs for translations, updates, etc.
- Automatic machine translation integration is useful
- Easy to switch between locales to make adjustments
- All exports from Phrase to GitHub are compiled into a single PR which means that we have to create a 'queue' when merging branches. If anyone has an open PR for Phrase changes, no one else can merge and export until that PR is merged to integration, or else the second person's changes will be rolled into the first person's PR
- If you create a key and use the auto-fill machine translation feature but later make edits to the key, the auto-translated text will not be updated
- We've had several cases of conflicts between our yml files and the text entered into Phrase due to things like spaces or quotation marks not appearing correctly
We've been using Memsource to support our clients looking for a simple solution that helps them get their files translated in a timely manner while keeping everything consistent thanks to the use of translation memories, termbases and a commenting feature to handle all context-related queries from translators, proofreaders, and editors.
- It's cloud-based, meaning it will likely work on any machine.
- Not overloaded with features, offers a clean UI.
- Relatively affordable.
- Sometimes it's quite slow, even despite an excellent Internet connection.
- Not all features are available for translators from the get-go, for example, only PM can upload/download a translation memory in TMX format which is quite a hassle if you have translators exporting everything into other tools.
- QA tools are somewhat weak, too many false-positives, which can be very annoying to ignore.
