Makes localizing content less of a gargantuan project.
Pros
- Integrates with other tools - makes localizing more straightforward and less of a gargantuan project.
- Easy to add a new language to a project - When making the business decision to expand languages, we can provide decision-makers with accurate estimates before committing to a new language.
- Provides access to multiple translation companies - We get to evaluate and pick the 3rd party translators that work best for our use case.
Cons
- Once you have a lot of resources in a project, ordering gets tricky because there's one long list of resources. I wish I could search for the resource when ordering.
- When you import your resources from another source, it will overwrite any changes you made to the translated article. For example, we stopped creating localized screenshots in our documentation because the images would be overwritten with the original English ones anytime we made updates.
Return on Investment
- Fewer people needed - without Transifex, we would probably have to hire more staff to many just the localization projects.
- Meet business demand quickly - now that we are set up with our Transifex flow, adding a new language is relatively easy and we know exactly when to expect the final product to deliver to customers.
