Happy use of Phrase
What do you like best about the product?
The appearance of the editor is very clear and helpful to work fast, the possibility of exporting bilingual files in Word, the presence of a window where we can see the final result...
What do you dislike about the product?
What I dislike is: 1. the fact that, at the end of the translation or MTPE or revision, I always find myself with a tremendous amount of QA check items to review, which is really time-consuming, and frequently for some minor or inexistent issues, 2. the impossibility, within a segment, to copy and paste a translated part (when we realize that it would be better worded in another order), which would be greatly time-saving.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It makes various processes - translation, MPTE or review - faster because without any CAT tool, you lost time always searching the point where you were a few minutes ago in the source text.
Great TMS
What do you like best about the product?
Makes working as part of a team easier and allows better project management. The features make marking and commenting on various sections for other team members is easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
While very small, there is no highlighting function. While making texts bold, underlined and italic, having a highlight function would add a useful feature.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Team translation and projects function helps team members work together using their strengths both in office and remotely.
Phrase for freelancers is great.
What do you like best about the product?
Not only it's easy to use, but also affordable in comparison to other CAT tools.
What do you dislike about the product?
It would be great if it was a monthly subscription.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It makes translating easier.
Best CAT tool in the market
What do you like best about the product?
Convenient, cloud-based, lightweight, and free.
What do you dislike about the product?
I’ve been using it for a while, and it’s been doing a great job!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I’m using a Mac, and it works very well on macOS.
Great access to TM, TB and easy to use!
What do you like best about the product?
I like how easy it's been to access, see, download and share the exported changes. This allows our team to maintain QC and share punctual feedback with our linguists.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there were avenues for for our linguists to communicate while they work on their assignments. If we could add a chat feature or some type of bridge that will create a communication channels between translators/revisers - that would be really great!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy access to former jobs for all clients.
Easy access to TM
Easy uploading of TB
All this allows our team to keep our work consistent. I love the wealth of knowledge (for every client!) we have stored in Phrase.

It is an excellent CAT, works flawlessly and I really appreciate the QA!
What do you like best about the product?
I enjoy being able to work with other translators on a single project. Phrase TMS is one of the fastest and most efficient cloud-based systems for translation.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is not much to dislike. Sometimes the servers are a bit slow/unresponsive but that rarely happens to be completely honest.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows me to collaborate with other translators quickly and efficiently. The Quality Analysis system is excellent and very efficient, it discovers plenty of errors.
Phrase TMS – your friendly neighbourhood CAT tool
What do you like best about the product?
The biggest advantage of Phrase TMS is that it's user friendly. It's not intimidating to start using it, as long as you've already grasped the general idea of how CAT tools operate. Then it's a piece of cake!
You can start translating right away, and figure out the more advanced features as you go. It's exactly how software should be designed – intuitive and straightforward, with advanced features tucked away, but not hidden from access by a ton of menus.
When I started my career in translation I was drawn away from using CAT tools just because I couldn't get them to do what I wanted and just got back to using text editors and doing the translation manually. Not anymore – Phrase TMS is a game changer for me!

What do you dislike about the product?
Not much really. The interface could be a bit more visual, incorporating various colours and grouping the functions in dedicated windows. But it's already more clear then the competition.
And please, please make a dedicated app for Windows AND Mac! This would make Phrase TMS the first serious CAT tool to be available for Mac users. This, apart from being difficult to use, was my main gripe with CAT tools in general. I invested a lot of money for an Apple laptop that is considered the best computer for working, with arguably the best keyboard on the market, only to find that no CAT tools are made for this system.
The browser version is a good workaround, but it's still a workaround – most users would appreciate a full-fledged app version with key commands and shortcuts.

I translate an app with Phrase
What do you like best about the product?
The simplicity of Phrase and of course how much it help me at my work for write a ton of sentence in a few languages. For me it's a most have for someone how need to translate an app.

Nothing for now the webapp is clear and cool, I really like it, is very complete and very attractive but I prefer the older editor, the new one is great but the older one was better
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Phrase Strings help us for put the translation of ton of language to our app, it's pretty simple and clear, that's very good and very fast when we used it, I like it

Easy and Clean
What do you like best about the product?
While Memsource was already helpful with our tasks, Phrase kept it's functionality and moved even further.
Helps us with more than 100 different file types and customers, we'll keep growing while using Phrase.

What do you dislike about the product?
Phrase helps us with all our needs as it's current form and in fact there are no minus points for us to update.
We can still check documentation and find solutions to our needs where requested.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In almost every CAT tool, segmentation and using tag structure can become very complicated since some of our language pairs need extra attention (like Arabic and Turkish).
Phrase handles these better than almost every tool we tried.
