Overall Satisfaction with Memsource
Memsource is one of the leading products used by the translation agency for which I do freelance work. The agency needs a wide range of translations from massive Government documents to short advertising copy, and working with a wide range of freelancers needs a product that isn't too difficult to learn.
- Easy to learn - I was working with it within half an hour
- Familiar approach for translators used to other products like XTM
- Clear and intuitive
- It's not easy to find a reference manual on their marketing-heavy website - videos yes, but I found checking a specific point (e.g. "how do I copy a source segment to the target") hard to do
- Simplicity
- Ease of learning
- Flexibility
- As a user I don't have insight into the ROI for the company as a whole
Trados is more complex and seems more powerful - it's the default system for the heavy-duty translation of major documents with specialized terminology needs. Memsource is easier to learn and a good choice for lighter-duty work. I use both.
