### "Best CAT Tool I've worked with so far"

August 4, 2022

5.0

Pros

The way it handles working directly online with the web-based tool, while allowing you to choose between that and the desktop app feels great. Also I love how clean the tool is, while others have so much visual info in them that you often can't find the one thing you want.

Cons

I wish the QA was more customizable as it often finds too many issues that are not really issues. Also, I wish there was a way to do a "per line" character limit. It seems not CAT Tool as done it yet and it would be a HUGE thing in the game localization industry.

Memsource is the best option for having everything a server-based CAT Tool can give you, while still not forcing your team to also pay for the tool they'll be using in their work.

I have used phrase for two different clients, at this point I will definitely say it’s my favorite platform to work on when it comes to translation.

Pros

I like the fact that it’s very intuitive and nicely designed for a visual Linquist like myself. it’s very easy to learn and I like how it’s organized.

Cons

what I don’t like is that I have to run the QA on some jobs when I know there is no need to run it and after you run it you still need to do the QA one more time before you can complete the job.

### "Not a Good Service for JP-EN Text Localization"

July 12, 2022

2.0

Pros

I like the fact that I can export files in Memsource to a format that I can actually work in and use the tools of my trade. This is genuinely the only thing I like about the program.

Cons

Compared to Google Sheets, this program is simply for managers who value quantity over quality because it provides them an overview of how many scripts are done without them needing to go in and actually read any text. As a worker in the workflow, I cannot view any documents without the potential of a major technical issue requiring a ticket to fix (to which the "fix" was to create an entirely new project), cannot provide feedback to translators as they are working. The use of translation memory or automated translation or repeat line auto-translation is not a welcome feature in the visual novel sphere, as context dictates how a line may read. For languages where context is not as necessary to understand a line, perhaps this program would be useful, but for the Japanese-English pairing, it absolutely is not. I am unable to use any of the regular expression or spell check tools without exporting the document to a difficult-to-format DOCX file (if you modify something incorrectly, it will not re-import), and then I cannot upload the completed file and mark it as complete because then I have to manually mark every edited line as complete. And while marking these lines as complete, I have to wait 10-30 seconds every 50 lines while Memsource works to catch up with me marking lines as complete. Google Sheets is free, has more utilities, and is more user-friendly to navigate and operate.

Although we are sorry to see that our platform doesn't fit your use case, we thank you for your feedback - having access to different points of view, both positive and critical, makes it possible for us to develop software that is in line with the expectations and needs of our customers. You're correct that our solution is primarily designed with enterprise clients in mind and it is therefore possible that some other, smaller-scale use cases won't be able to benefit from our feature-set. In any case, thanks again for your feedback. We do appreciate it.

### "One of the best web based CAT tools"

July 21, 2022

4.0

memsource is a web based tool and in that sense it is less powerful than client based tools ("applications"), however, it is the best online tool on the market. Having said that, an offline editor is available where online projects can be downloaded to.

Pros

Unlike other CAT tools, memsource takes into account the needs of an arguably very important stakeholder group: translators. The user interface is self-explanatory, which makes it easy to get started. All items are where you would expect them to be. Also, the "aesthetics" of the user interface are helping me to translate. Colors are "logical" (rather than distracting) and all menus and panels are where they should be. This seems like a minor point, but when you stare 8h at a user inteface and you actually focus more on understanding the user interface than doing your work, this will result in reduced productivity and quality. memsource handles large files well (it doesn't crash, basically) and large files can be displayed on-screen without the need of cycling through different pages. You can just scroll down and read the entrie file.

Cons

The search and replace dialog misses some options. Only basic search and replace options can be carried out. In the QA dialog, QA results are displayed in a structured manner, however, it sometimes requires extra time to search and fix the actual segment. Fixing inconsistencies for instance is tedious because it requires manual searching for the inconsistency in the file.

Alternatives considered

Reason for choosing Phrase

We have to use memsource because our clients require us to do so. They are lending the license to us for the duration of the project.

### "A Great Tool For Text Management"

July 14, 2022

5.0

Memsource has made it much easier for me to keep product-, project- and client-specific vocabulary consistent over time. Whenever there has been a technical problem, the company has provided quick and efficient customer service. I have found Memsource the best product for my specific needs at a very reasonable price point.

Pros

I have been using Memsource as a translation tool since 2016 and it has continually improved. The company has added useful features while not overwhelming (or irritating) me with constant updates. For the most part I do translations that are not suitable for raw machine translation; however, Memsource has excellent tools for creating translation memories and glossaries that help me keep track of the chosen terminology for any given client or project over time. I also find that jobs and projects are uploaded, tracked and organized in an intuitive way that works very well for me.

Cons

The only challenge I've encountered is the discrepancy between how the cloud version and the desktop version of the software work. They're both good, but there are small differences that slow me down. In the end, I primarily use the cloud version, reverting to the desktop software only when I'm travelling and therefore working without an internet connection.

Thanks for your great feedback, Bonnie! It's so helpful to hear what's working well for you, and also that differences between the desktop and mobile editor are slowing you down, we'll pass that on internally. Otherwise, happy to hear that you're finding Memsource to be a helpful tool to keep your translations consistent!

### "Uploaded words count toward your quota, not translated words, uploaded words. "

July 8, 2024

1.0

Support is poor. Generic issues will be slow. More involved things. Glacial.

Pros

In general it is an acceptable system with one deal-breaking flaw.

Cons

You have an allotted quota of words you can upload. And it counts every word. If you are uploading words for an offer let's say that counts fully toward your quota. So, you are pitching for a large project, well you are blowing your quota with no return. So that means we have to run Trados in addition to prepare offers. In our case, there was a bug and we needed to upload and re-upload a file. That was a large file, and with that one file, we used-up our entire quota for the coming three month period as we had just paid. That is very unlikely.

Switched from

### "Freelancer review"

July 12, 2022

5.0

Good. Mainly use it for MTPE. Most of my clients (agencies) now work with Memsource.

Pros

I mainly use this for machine translation post editing. The quality of the output is always good and the text is easy to edit.

Cons

I use Memsource through agencies, so there are certain features that I don't use because it's done by the agency. Sometimes autopropogate seems to be missing when I do a normal (non-MTPE) project. Maybe this is because of the settings configured by the agency itself. I'm not sure about this.

Because the agencies I worked for changed to Memsource. And new contacts use Memsource. I think it may also be because I'm doing a lot of MTPE projects now.

### "A very user-friendly CAT tool"

January 12, 2022

5.0

Pros

The easiness of use; Customer support - always on-time and quick response; 90% of answers regarding problems and issues can be searchable via google and solved; Subscription can be renewed whenever the user pleases (like every 3 months even); The company and software are always improving and adding new features; Translation memories can be uploaded into TRADOS; Traspdf is incorporated into the Memsource; If you are a starting translator, Memsource should be first CAT tool to get used to as it it is the easiest one in use; Cloud-based; Fantastic MT - the best I've encountered so far.

Cons

TRADOS project files cannot be normally incorporated into the Memsource ( I would like to have that option, then I could get rid of TRADOS); Cannot compare to the TRADOS functionality (therefore, sometimes, Memsource loses TRADS); A lot of vendors use other CATs, therefore, I cannot use Memsource fully.

### "Useful CAT Tools with Reasonable Prices."

July 12, 2022

5.0

I have been using Memsource almost 3 consecutive years in my translation works. The problem I found from this program is less than other CAT tools and the price is really affordable for a lone freelancer like me.

Pros

The affordable price and cloud-based CAT tools.

Cons

Sometimes the server isn't update the translation that was input earlier.

Reason for choosing Phrase

The price is cheaper, and I also love its easy-to-use UI.

### "App works but very scummy refunds process"

May 15, 2024

2.0

They were okay for a while but when we decided to cancel, they made it impossible.

Pros

It works. It's not too terrible to use. Once you've got the flow going, it's fine.

Cons

The UI is very clunky Their billing/accounts team are super slow to respond and refuse to cancel my plan. I tried to cancel in March and the UI said it wasn't renewing but it did anyway. They say they want 30 days notice but they ignored my request and pinged me for 3 months instead. I would not use this company again or recommend them after this.

### "Excellent Translation Software"

July 12, 2022

5.0

Pros

Very user friendly and easy to use. I have instantly become familiar with it and when I had a problem, support always where there to help me out within minutes.

Cons

For Maltese MT is still quite far off to achieving something reliable. Also, in case of translation breakdown, sometimes it is not fair as there could be many mistakes in 100% segments which have to be translated from scratch and be paid peanuts for it as a result. Also tags and small punctuation, or uppercase/lowercase changes can be very daunting but for some reason they are marked 99%.

Thank you for your feedback around tags and translation scores - that's very helpful! Sorry to hear that MT isn't great for Maltese yet. I'm sure it will improve with time :). Otherwise, happy to hear you're enjoying Memsource and have had a positive experience with our support team!

### "Excellent CAT and translation management system for freelancers and small LSPs"

January 24, 2022

5.0

Overall I am very much satisfied with Memsource, and I have recommended it to other translators. For small LSPs or freelancers working primarily for end clients, I don't think there is a better solution out there, even for significantly more money. Best of all Memsource is exceptionally reliable and responsive to (the very few) issues that come up.

Pros

Memsource is easy to use and has a relatively low learning curve, especially as compared to other CAT tools and translation management systems. These two aspects (CAT and management) are integrated quite seamlessly, which should be a big selling point for small LSP clients. Other than that, I find the whole system to be exceptionally responsive and reliable, and the Desktop Editor to be the 'quickest' of all the CAT tools I have used. It may not have quite as many features as something like Trados, but it seems to have everything you need.

Cons

Oddly specific as this may sound, my biggest issue with Memsource is the built-in spell checker - it just isn't very good, at least in English. It responds slowly, flags words that are not misspelled, flags parts of words, and misses rather obvious misspellings. When I right-click to correct an error, the word I am looking for always seems to be at the bottom of the list of suggestions. Other than that, the integration with MT engines could be improved with respect to in-text formatting tags.

Reason for choosing Phrase

Firstly because Memsource is much easier to use and has a very low learning curve - one might reasonably call it 'intuitive'. Secondly, Memsource is much more cost-effective (value for money).

### "Good but could be better"

July 12, 2022

4.0

Overall great cross-platform tool I use everyday but there is plenty of room for improvement.

Pros

Convenient and easy to use. Cross-platform unlike Trades. Spellcheck, QA, TM and TB functions helpful. Memsource is the primary CAT tool I use on a daily basis.

Cons

・No grammar checks. Need to download text to Word for final review. ・QA lacks localization context. 「6月」→"June" always comes up as missing a number. Frustrating when a client requires QA to be 100% resolved on larger documents. ・Memsource Editor is lacking and I still don't know how to fully use it. I'd love to not have to work out of a browser as it is a battery hog when out and about. If I have to log in to Editor, why can't I download my jobs directly from there? ・Please allow translators to consolidate accounts. I have one account for each agency I work with, and sometimes multiple accounts per agency. It's hard to keep track of which is which. ・MT is lacking. DeepL's app lets me click on words for alternate translations, so there's no benefit to running a DeepL translation directly in Memsource over their own app.

Review Source

Response from Phrase

July 26, 2022

Thank you for your review and feedback, David! If you're finding using Memsource in the browser to be too much of a power suck, we can recommend downloading the desktop version of the editor, which also doesn't require an internet connection: https://www.memsource.com/download/.

### "A great alternative as a web-based and software CAT tool"

October 26, 2021

5.0

Memsource is an interesting alternative as a CAT Tool, featuring a web/cloud-based and a software version (and both work perfectly together). For those working in the Translation and Localization industry, it is a great idea to get used to Memsource, as you may be asked to work with it by a new agency or direct client. It is a cost-effective option, easy to use and very stable and light to work both online and offline.

Pros

Memsource is a light-weight CAT tool which brings almost all the same features that other flagship options (like MemoQ, Trados Studio, etc). It works smoothly, it is intuitive and has a good integration with their web-based option, so you can download project files to work offline and upload it back to your client/company server.

Cons

For those used to other CAT tools, you may miss one or another option. Overall, it seems that Memsource is a more 'basic' alternative, which will give you all the most used features, but may not be as robust as some competitors when it comes to filtering options, TM management, batch tasks, etc.

### "Lightweight and reliable platform"

July 13, 2022

4.0

Pros

Memsource's biggest strength is in how lightweight it is compared to the largest competitors, maximising the time a translator spends on actually translating, instead of waiting for the TM or search window to update, or a script to finish running. All the features you'd expect of the more traditional translation suite competitors with some slightly more modern design.

Cons

Memsource suffers a little when it comes to tools for multi-stage projects (with proofreading or other QA steps), where the UX becomes more cumbersome. The concordance search function could also use some more advanced functionality.

July 13, 2022

4.0

Overall I like the web-based interface. It is easy to use yet fully functional. Online access to the translation memory, QA, workflow and commenting functions outweighs any negatives of the web interface.

Pros

The product does the job. The advantage of web-based software is simplicity, ease of setup and ease of use. As a translator/editor, I am able to receive and accept tasks, do my translation and collaborate with co-workers. It is powerful enough to handle the major tasks related to translation memory and quality assurance. The web interface means there is no setup or software updates needed on the user end. It handles disconnections fairly well. There is still a PC version to allow off-line work.

Cons

The web-based interface can be a bit clunky or slow at times. It is also a fairly simple interface so it may not have all the features of more powerful software.

We use PhraseApp as a CMS, and we have all our locales (languages) there. We also use other tools such as Localise, but isn't any better either.

Pros

Cons

You can order translations directly from PhraseApp, but the quality is quite poor, even if you pay for the business option. Also, in terms of UX it could be improved quite a lot, allowing users to do some tasks easier with less clicks.

July 16, 2019

4.0

I use Memsource with many of my agency clients. It's a simple solution that works great for small and medium sized translation and localization projects.

Pros

Ease of use is by far the biggest benefit of Memsource compared with other tools. It's not overloaded with unnecessary features and makes my job quite straightforward.

Cons

They really need to focus on collaborative features as we often work in a team with other translators and we have to see comments left by other people to avoid asking same questions to our project managers or clients. Would be great to see a commenting feature that would allow all project participants see each other comments on each particular string.

### "Very fast and convenient for freelance translation needs, but lacking some important formats support"

December 8, 2018

4.0

A nice CAT-tool for a freelance translator, but lacking some important file types support and no option to create accounts for your clients.

Pros

Works really fast - faster than all the other web CATs. Convenient hot keys for adding glossary terms and so on. Displays progress in words - very important. Nice and user-friendly interface in general.

Cons

TXML files are not supported - the most important thing that prevents me from using this CAT as my primary CAT. Has no option to create accounts for my clients inside my agency/freelance account. Paid version is pretty expensive.

### "Easy to use and best online solution for translation I ever used"

June 1, 2020

5.0

If you are looking for an online translation tool that is easy to use and can handle many languages as you want. If you are looking for a good solution to manage multiple applications translation in one place. If you are looking for a translation tool that can be managed not only by your developers' team. If you are looking for a solution where there are multiple users managing the translation of your applications and you would like to avoid translation collision.

Pros

The UI is really simple to use and the API has good documentation which makes the integration with our services easy. You can set up multiple projects and languages. They also have integration with other services like Github, Gitlab,... Also, translations are not handled only by developers but they can be shared across different sectors of the company. Multiple projects can make use of the same translation database.

Cons

I don't dislike it, but I would like to see a way to merge or associate a duplicate key. In a big project, it is quite easy to have duplicate values with different key names. And will be cool to have a group mechanism, so in case you update one value of one language, it will reflect in other keys too. Also, have a warning tool in case you have different keys with the same value.
