### "The best option for freelance translators and small teams"

October 1, 2025

5.0

I love it! It allows freelance translators to be on top of the game, just as big agencies which can afford expensive tools! We get the same, and more, for a price that we can pay.

Pros

It is affordable for freelance translators, which is not always the case with CAT tools. Customer support is excellent. They even implemented my suggestions in the platform! The CAT Tool environment is quite similar to the rest, so it's not difficult to get used to it. AI integration in unique and state of the art! Nothing compared to the rest.

Cons

The logics for translation management is quite different, and it takes some time to get it, but once you understand it, it just becomes smooth.

### "A tool that enhances daily translation"

October 21, 2025

5.0

My experience has been really positive. There are a few little things that could be improved, but overall, it's a good tool and makes the translation process smoother and more efficient.

Pros

What I like most is that it organizes the entire translation process intuitively. The glossaries and memories maintain consistency and allow me to focus on translating without wasting time on details.

Cons

What I like the least are some minor details, such as features that require practice at first, and the glossaries could be a bit more customizable.

### "Bureau Works for Freelancers"

September 10, 2025

5.0

I had a positive experience with Bureau Works being a freelance translator since 2021. I think the platform is well organized, which helps provide good quality translation. There is a terminology database, as well as other tools which allow great focus on the translation. I am looking forward to see what else the platform will offer!

Pros

I liked the fact that this platform is suitable for freelancers and not only businesses. It also helps you perform translation in various sectors such as computer technology, finance, medicine, law, education, and marketing. Bureau Works offers a range of translation management capabilities to simplify localization workflows. It aids users in managing translation memories, glossaries, quality, and workflows for intricate translation projects. The platform simplifies the creation of projects, automatic task assignment, and overhead cost reduction through process automation. Notable features of Bureau Works include a translation editor, translation memory, terminology management, automatic job assignment, machine translation, automated quoting, financial tracking, and quality management. The platform also incorporates the strengths of human linguists and machine translation to provide high-quality and cost-effective translations on a large scale.

Cons

I like everything about the platform. Maybe, sometimes it takes a while to load the translation, and sometimes the voice is not recognized very well.

### "CAPTERRA ou bureau Work"

September 7, 2025

4.0

le logiciel est facile à s'inscrire, à se connecter et surtout à utiliser. Il nous permet d'aller plus vite et d'être très organiser dans ses traductions et faire travailler d'autres personnes dans un projets.

Pros

j'ai aimé voir tous mes projets en une place, voir la progression en temps réel et revenir et trouver mes traduction intact et reprendre la où je m'étais arrêtée.

Cons

je n'ai pas aimé pouvoir utiliser les raccourcies de mon clavier pour mettre en gras ou italique ou même mettre en majuscule comme on le fait sur Word.

### "Great platform for freelance work"

July 19, 2025

5.0

I've been working with Bureauworks as a freelance linguist, and the experience has been smooth and professional. Project assignments are well-organized, communication is efficient, and payments have been timely so far. I especially appreciate the transparency and the tech support when I have questions or issues.

Pros

Bureauworks provides a structured and stable environment for freelancers. The platform handles project distribution, file management, and communication all in one place, which significantly reduces admin overhead. The onboarding and workflow processes are also streamlined, so it's easy to focus purely on the linguistic work.

Cons

The volume of available work can be very low at times, and occasionally projects consist of only a single word, which makes it hard to justify the time spent reviewing and accepting such tasks.

### "BW great tool for oldies that want AI"

October 24, 2025

5.0

My whole experience in the last month was really nice and calm. I feel like it fits properly in my working load and it was good to spend less time in my last projects.

Pros

The cost of the plan is quite good comparing with the tools and the UI that the offers. It is a good investment for modernize my framework once I just left the use of manual translation in older TMS tools. I learned very fast how to use the basics and to set up the AI capabilites so it was a piece of cake for me.

Cons

Costumer support. It is not bad, it is just that the time they take to respond is a little longer than I expected. But it is not severe to be honest.

### "Great to translate articles for various languages"

September 16, 2025

5.0

I have used it to translate articles and .srt files and it helped me very well on those tasks. It gives suggestions of terms that fits better for each particular occasion.

Pros

Translated articles from brazilian portuguese to english. And it worked very well. The most interesting is that it kept the cultural nuances of the english language.

Cons

It has a normal learning curve for people who are starting using it. But I don't have anything negative to say about it so far.

### "Straightforward, Fast, and Reliable"

September 3, 2025

5.0

Bureau Works has made my translation work more efficient and less stressful. The platform is reliable, responsive, and straightforward, which allows me to manage projects smoothly and deliver high-quality translations without technical hiccups. It’s a practical tool that works exactly as I need it to.

Pros

I like how fast and intuitive the platform is. Large files load without lag, the editor is clean and easy to navigate, and AI suggestions are sometimes helpful for tricky segments. Overall, it lets me focus on translating rather than figuring out the tool.

Cons

There’s nothing major I dislike. AI suggestions aren’t always spot-on, and QA can occasionally be a bit overzealous, but neither gets in the way of my workflow.

### "An Excellent All-In-One Solution for Modern Localization Work"

October 24, 2025

5.0

I found the platform to be powerful, especially in terms of automation, translation consistency, and centralized workflow management. It helped streamline tasks and reduce manual effort, which improved efficiency and quality. Although there is a learning curve at the beginning due to the number of features, once I became familiar with the interface it was smooth, well-organized, and highly reliable for managing multilingual projects.

Pros

t ensures consistency across languages while saving valuable time, which I find essential for high-quality and scalable localization.

Cons

However, once I became familiar with its workflow, the productivity benefits outweighed the initial complexity.

July 30, 2025

I have used it with my team to manage different projects for many clients, languages, and requirements, and we have always enjoyed the process.

### "Insights from Freelance Translator starting with Bureau Works"

September 7, 2025

4.0

I'm just starting to use the platform and, so far, it seems Bureau Works will really help me become more efficient, productive, and confident in my work. I give 4 stars for now, expecting the volume of available work for my language pair will increase soon.

Pros

As a freelance translator, I appreciate that the platform is fast, clean, and lets you focus on the actual translationwork. I can load large files without lag, searches are quick, and the editor is simple enough that I didn’t need to spend time figuring things out. The AI suggestions can be hit-or-miss, but when they’re accurate, they really help to move faster. I also like that the interface feels intuitive. Compared to other tools I’ve used, Bureau Works feels a lot more stable and reliable.

Cons

Maybe I'm too new to the platform, but so far, the volume of available work is inconsistent, which makes it hard to rely on a steady stream of projects.

### "Great Customer Support"

Pros

Great customer support. The support team responded excellently to one correction that needed attention on the platform of the BW Community. They took the time to double-check the issue and direct me to the right team to handle it. I appreciate the promptness, the patience, the willingness to improve, the communication and the positive approach to problem solving. A great platform is great because of people too, not only for its features.

Cons

Nothing so far, it has been a very good experience until now. I am still exploring the platform and all that offers.

### "Bureau was the first tool I started working with"

July 30, 2025

5.0

When I launched my LSP, Bureau was the first tool I started working with. At first, it wasn’t easy—I was still learning the ropes, and adapting took some time. But from day one, their team was incredibly supportive. They patiently answered every question, no matter how small, and were always there when I needed help. What truly made the difference for me was their openness to the rare and underrepresented languages we work with. Not every platform is willing to go that extra mile—and Bureau did. That kind of commitment is invaluable when you're building something from the ground up.

Pros

They patiently answered every question, no matter how small, and were always there when I needed help.

Cons

At first, it wasn’t easy—I was still learning the ropes, and adapting took some time to me. Setting everything up is time-consuming due to the flexibility of the platform

### "Reliable Platform with Excellent Communication"

September 8, 2025

5.0

Bureau Works solves the problem of a fragmented and complex translation workflow by centralizing all tasks in one intuitive platform. The integrated CAT tools enhance my productivity, while the smooth workflow allows me to focus on delivering high-quality translations in a professional, stress-free environment.

Pros

As a multilingual translator, I like the platform’s intuitive interface and its always clear, supportive communication. The project management features help with my workflow, making it easy to manage and track each assignment efficiently.

Cons

The platform is excellent overall, but some of the more advanced features have a slight learning curve. A bit more in-app guidance for new tools could be helpful.

### "Very easy to use tool for translation"

October 4, 2025

5.0

Overall, my experience with Bureau Works has been positive. The platform is reliable, intuitive, and well-structured, with responsive project managers and clear workflows. Payments are on time, and the system integrates smoothly with major CAT tools. However, some projects rely too heavily on low-quality AI pre-translations, and deadlines can be tight compared to the rates offered.

Pros

Modern, user-friendly interface and stable performance. Clear project management system and consistent workflow. Professional communication from PMs with quick responses. Supports multiple file formats and common CAT tools. Transparent and punctual payments.

Cons

Too many approval steps make the process feel slow. Some AI pre-translated content has poor quality. Tight deadlines and rates don’t always match the workload. Dashboard filtering by language or project type is limited. Project instructions can sometimes be unclear.

### "BWX Review"

September 1, 2025

5.0

It is a very good experience. First of all, there are not subscriptions which means your services and support is not based on paying, rather being an active linguist delivering your tasks in a timely and professional manner.

Pros

Easy to use, language support, performance and speed, text and file management, friendly user interface

Cons

The lack of active spell check as you type. Being used in language services and utilizing translation memories, I think it'd be more helpful to have an active spell check feature.
