Translation Tools

I use the tool to assist me translating texts containing full or partial matches to what's in the tool's Translation Memory. The texts are related to luxury products and can be either technical or general. The idea is to check if a section/sections of the text have been translated before and, if that's the case, repeating it in the content you're translating for consistency purposes. It's also very handy to create a glossary and refer to it quickly while you're working.

Slow, bugs and errors aren't uncommon, logs you out suddenly, sometimes doesn't save what you've worked on even if you commit/save strings
No shortcut-available, you have to mouse-click a lot, makes work less intuitive
Confusing interface
Not sure if it's the tasks' setup once they're sent to linguists, but sometimes almost exact matches don't show up automatically. You have to search bits of a sentence to hopefully find an exact match that had been translated before, but for some reason didn't show as a suggestion. That takes up a huge amount of time.

Positive: Helps with content consistency (using the same terms/phrase matches throughout the years)
Positive: Good glossary building for repeated, technical terms and names
Negative: I feel it slows work down rather than speeding it up, which is the idea behind using a CAT tool
