### "Makes Language Services Accessible "

November 13, 2019

5.0

Overall ok because the software is designed for people who translate lengthy works regularly not those who may need to translate infrequently (making price too costly).

Pros

The software is reputed and very popular in the language services industry. The translation capacity is very large allowing fast translation of long articles.

Cons

Word banks that are stored in the memory can be improved as well as the overall accuracy of common languages. Human proofreading is still essential to accurate translation and I would like to see better prices for users who don't need to run the software frequently.

### "SDL Trados Studio is Essential for Any Translator"

June 18, 2020

5.0

Overall, it is an advanced translation software that may be costly upfront, but is well worth it for any company.

Pros

This software is common in the translation field, often required by many agencies. I found it more difficult to learn than Memsource, but I think its features are more complex and it is my preferred translation software.

Cons

Its translation memory was difficult to set up at first, but I was finally able to get the hang of it after watching some Youtube tutorials.

February 18, 2020

5.0

SDL trados is a powerfull CAT tool that allows you to increase your performances, and take care of all the formating while letting you focus on the quality of your translation

Pros

Trados is a powerfull tool with huge capabilities and powerfull functionnalities that allow you to take on any big translation project as a team or individual.

Cons

My main issue is that SDL is tool powerfull for my needs so it's a little expensive in my opinion considering my needs.

### "WONDERFUL if you can afford it"

May 16, 2019

5.0

Pros

I have tried the free version of this product in the past and honestly wish it was worth it for me to purchase, but at my current workflow it just isn't a possibility. Having said that, I found the software incredibly useful in improving quality and speed of translations. I hope to purchase it in the near future.

Cons

It is pricey and many things aren't included and have to be paid for as extras.

### "Convenient memory storage function"

February 26, 2018

5.0

Pros

I constantly use the memory accumulation function - it's a very convenient thing that saves time. At first it was necessary to get used, but now I really understand that this is a professional tool and an approach to it is necessary corresponding. You can't completely rely on the program.

Cons

Difficulties with the translation of the books. There, the same fragments are very rare. This makes the system almost useless. I also searched for it for a long time, but I still could not find ready-made databases of formalized texts.

### "Easy-to-use tool that helps you to speed up your work!"

June 6, 2018

3.0

One of the main characteristics a good translator needs is consistency in terminology. This tool allows me to be very consistent in my translations.

Pros

Being a frequent user of CAT tools, I may say that one of the best features of this software is its Translation memory. I do not need internet to complete my translations.

Cons

Uploading some document formats makes it tedious and time-consuming. Price is a little too high when compared to what you get in exchange.

### "Failure in Sinhala fonts"

April 10, 2020

1.0

Problematic; I had to struggle with font errors.

Pros

This software is a real failure with regard to Asian languages, specially with Sinhala. As it gives so many font errors, this is unusable by the Sinhala users.

Cons

I did not notice any special. It similar to all other MT software.
