### "One of the best solutions for multi-language websites"

May 10, 2022

5.0

Pros

Text United is a software that helps translate website content and manage multilingual content. Businesses can use it to communicate with customers in different languages or with individuals who want to learn new languages. It's a full suite of tools to manage the translation process and implement multi-language content directly on your website (I use it mainly for Webflow since it has only a few integrations).

Cons

It's pretty expensive, so it's suitable only for those businesses who take online experience seriously. However, the biggest problem is that the translated content is injected via JavaScript into the page. This makes it bad for SEO since Google crawlers scan only native content and not the injected one, so it doesn't work properly for SEO The only solution is to add pre-render software to your tech stack, increasing the already high monthly cost.

I switched from WordPress to Webflow, and WPML isn't designed for Webflow websites. I tried Weglot, but it is incredibly expensive, so I choose Text United.

### "TextUnited offers the complete workflow"

March 18, 2020

5.0

First of all the personal contact with the staff of TextUnited is really great. By telephone, teamviewer session or mail everything works. Especially important if it come to the small but more difficult things. Thanks for that! Together with \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\], we developed a few functions for the standard interce, which saved us from setting up our own inhouse translation tool. We produce the content, TextUnited does the translation. Works fine for us for the last 5 years. Thanks for that too!

Pros

TextUnited offers more than just translation services. TextUnited offers a complete workflow. No Need to go with some homemade Excel list or tool to organise, translate and track your translations. Bottom line: Thanks to TextUnited we don't need an additional inhouse tool for our Translation workflow.

Cons

I can't answer that, because there was no downside for us :)

### "Very good portal for simple translations"

March 18, 2020

3.0

We are already a long-standing client of the agency and greatly appreciate the cooperation. The customer service is excellent, works flexibly and efficiently.

Pros

Customer service is very attentive, the portal is easy to use and the translations of simple texts are good.

Cons

In our opinion, very demanding texts or texts that are published in a specialist medium exceed the quality of Text United's translators. For simple texts, however, the agency is a perfect partner whom we value highly.

### "Excellent service, speed and functionality"

March 18, 2020

5.0

The product is great, and the in-house staff are friendly, knowledgeable and efficient at resolving any issues. I would thoroughly recommend the product (and service) to businesses and sole traders.

Pros

The product is incredibly easy to use. I use it on a regular basis to aid in translations into English from a number of languages. It's simple to use both as a project manager and translator, and allows efficient communication regarding queries between all staff involved in a project.

Cons

The only issue is that comments/queries are not extracted with a document (such as comments on italicization or other formatting that was not contained within the original document but is required in the translated version). However, these are all saved within the project manager's dashboard, and can be easily referenced from there.

### "Great long-term cooperation"

March 18, 2020

5.0

Having received regular work from Text United for several years now, and I particularly appreciate the opportunity to work with the same regular client for much of this time. I do more proofreading than translation for Text United, and I am very impressed with the quality of their regular translators - which makes my own work that much easier.

Pros

The TextUnited software is easy to learn and intuitive and straight forward to use. I rate it higher than most other translation software I have used, partly because I do not have to buy, manage and update the software licence myself. Apart from the translation features, the software also has an excellent invoicing function where all invoice specifications are accounted for and I only need to press a button to create an invoice. This is a great help every month!

Cons

It would be great if it were possible to change the font in the "Add term to glossary" feature, like in the App itself. I would also like to see a smartphone based App version.

### "Outstanding"

April 1, 2020

5.0

The translation and proofreading processes are smooth. Quick turnaround and high quality output assured by a 4 eyes process (translation and proofreading; both done by experienced professionals). The project managers are easy to contact and are helpful. Outstanding.

Pros

The software is very user friendly. Even if it is the first time one works with, everything is self-explanatory. The adding of tags is super easy. The panels are clear and informative are well-ordered and surveyable. The 'find' function yields a separate window with all the occurrences. Changes, if needed, can be made in this separate window. There is a clear indication of the work progress, as well for translation as for proofreading (percentages).

Cons

There are no aspects of the product that are difficult to use. However, one feature I would like to see to be added is concatenation of segments.

My overall experience is excellent. I have been working with them for several years now. I am very happy. The support of the project managers is excelent and I really enjoy working for them.

Pros

The software does have all the features I need as a translator to execute my job. A good translation memory, text splitted in columns, very friendly. And the support is excelent.

Cons

Sometimes the Translation memory does not recognize the orginal text to be translated.

### "Great Company to work with!"

November 10, 2020

5.0

Fantastic company to work with. They really listen to our needs and are receptive to feedback. Finding a solution to make managing projects easier for me is top priority for TextUnited.

Pros

Web-based, easy to use interface. Working with TextUnited has been amazing. They are very receptive to feedback for making the software easier to use and meet my businesses needs.

Cons

Creating multiple projects per language, we support 22 languages at my company and having to manage 22 downloads is labor intensive.

### "Good tool for translators."

August 22, 2018

5.0

As a translator, it has allowed me to grow constantly and to be within reach of my clients' opinions, which is the only attribute I like about this software.

Pros

This cloud-based terminology application is fast, easy and convenient to use, allows you to work with a team of translators globally and therefore in multiple languages, has a very good translation memory and allows customers to see your progress as a translator if they wish. A complete translation software.

Cons

Each segment must be confirmed manually, it would be ideal to add a spell checking tool to avoid errors. It's a little expensive.

### "Practical CAT Tool"

April 2, 2020

5.0

It's really fast for an online CAT tool (which can also be used in offline mode). I have never experienced any hiccups or crashes, which happen way too often when I use Trados Studio, for example.

Pros

Besides being a fully-featured and fast CAT tool, I love the fact that it keeps a record of all the projects I have done and also their budgets. This comes in very handy at the end of the month when creating an invoice.

Cons

It would have been nice if I it offered you the ability to import your own term bases. But maybe it does have this feature and I still have to discover it.

### "One of the best software"

March 17, 2020

5.0

My experience with Text United started more than two years ago. It has been a fruitful experience that allowed me to learn more about the world of translation. Provision of the necessary material for the job. I recommend to anyone who wants to learn more about translation and localization, that you have this pioneering company in this domain.

Pros

its quality and ease of use. Good working conditions.

Cons

Nothing. At the moment I did not find any problem that affects my collaboration with this company

### "Surprisingly accurate"

August 10, 2020

5.0

Pros

I tried a few computer translation services, but the translation into English would have needed rewriting, which I didn't have time for. So I tried TUFT and the FLASH translation was actually very good. There was no need to rewrite, the translation into English was readable and completely understandable. I will be using TUFT a lot in the future. It's amazing how computer translation has progressed.

Cons

When you go to upload a file, it's not clear that you have to select the input language and the output language first. Now I know, I won't struggle. But I think it would help others if it was made clear.

### "Simple and Straightforward Translation/Localization Product"

October 12, 2016

5.0

In my brief time using Text United, I can honestly say that it is a joy to use. It is simple enough for our team of volunteers, but has powerful features that make implementing translations easy. The translation memory feature is the best example of this, and saves an uncountable number of hours by automatically completing words that have been translated before. The ability to collaborate on a project and work together is also incredibly efficient and allows us to serve our website to new demographics we could not reach before. I don't know how we ever did translation and localization before Text United, and we are so incredibly thankful that such a product exists!

Pros

\- Easy to use - Beautiful interface - Intelligent word memory/suggestions

### "Perfekt für unsere vielfältige Anwendung."

September 8, 2020

4.0

Gemeinsames Arbeiten an Projekten oder komplett outsourcen. Immer aus einer Hand mit gemeinsamen Datenbestand. Rasche und einfache Abwicklung, auch intern bzw. mit Partner die eingebunden werden können/dürfen.

Pros

Einfache Zusammenarbeit mit dem Dienstleister und/oder über mehrere Standorte. Relativ einfache Nutzung. Transparenz.

Cons

App bietet nach wie vor die beste Usability ; Online-Variante schwieriger nicht so einfach handzuhaben, nicht jeder lädt sich aber die App herunter (für Einmal-Aktivität). Trennung nach Domains oder speziellen Anforderungen nicht immer einfach zu kommunizieren. Änderungen in TMs schwierig zu bewerkstelligen. Referenzdokumente bei Übersetzer nicht immer in Anwendung... Darstellung: Überschrift als Überschrift etc. wäre noch sehr hilfreich...! Oft Updates, nach dem wir die App nicht öffnen konnten.

Reason for choosing Text United

Optimale Plattform; Transparenz. Persönliche Gespräche.

### "Working with Text United Software"

November 10, 2016

5.0

I am working with this Software and this translation agency already for several years and as a freelance translator working with a lot of other tools too, I have to say their tool is the best I found up to date. It is frequently updated, one does not have to load to the PC a lot of volume, as everything is stored in their server, there is a bright project management and clients always get the best quality feasible. The best translation agency I met in 35+ years. The software is intuitive and does have all the features a translator - as well as a client - can wish to have.

Pros

Simple to handle, good terminology management, - and the client can see the progress (if wished) and give terminology advice if needed.

Cons

No cons available, as it is state of the art.

### "Excellent tool for translators!"

March 19, 2020

5.0

Pros

I use this software to translate and save a great amount of time thanks to the translation memories, the possibility to add a glossary and to run a quality check at the end of the translation process. I also like the direct interaction with the clients through the commentary button on each segment. This functionality allows the client and the translator to interact directly on the segment that could pose problems. Finally, the client can leave reference files in the software which helps for context.

Cons

The general visual of the software could be improved. I prefer the online version than the application for the visual aspect.

### "Translators love this tool"

November 11, 2016

5.0

I use this tool as a freelance translator and absolutely love it. It is very easy to use with simple functionality, yet with all of the bells & whistles I would expect from a CAT tool. The best part: multiple translators can work on an urgent project without compromising consistency -- because it is cloud based, content from multiple translators working simultaneously on a project syncs automatically. The result is not only increased productivity, but also to perfect consistency.

Pros

Ease use, functionality, collaboration due to cloud technology

Cons

Like any cloud-based service, there is time spent waiting on data to save to the server.

November 10, 2016

5.0

I am using the Text United App since 2010 and have translated about half a million words with it. This is a very good software, which simplifies the translation of complex documents. The client has always access to the data while it is being processed. I never experienced a breakdown or loss of data. Unlike Across, there is no issue sending and synchronising files as I am already working on cloud based files.

Pros

Cloud based, quick and easy to use, implementation of terminology

Cons

Only compatible with Windows, not with Mac.
