Translation Tools (extended)
This is a re-post of a post I made in 2018. I added Lokalise and Smartling:
- CrowdIn: https://crowdin.com/ - Last used 2016; Wasn’t able to handle company accounts and move project ownership to generic, non-personal accounts. This way unusable for enterprises - back in 2016.
- Lokalise:Â https://lokalise.co/Â - Currently using (2019). Really nice service and very quick support. Easy to handle and to understand. Modern design, quick page load, fast search. I really like working with it.
- OneSky: https://www.oneskyapp.com/ - Last used 2018. Has issues with updating texts which leads to a lot of useless clicks. Support promised a new version of the tool for end of summer - 2017… It never came out.
- Phrase App: https://phraseapp.com - Never used, still wanting to try out
- Smartling: https://www.smartling.com - A total joke. Move on, there is nothing to see. The advertisements sounded awesome (”Translations for PMs”) so I wanted to try them out. They didn’t even let me near the tool. “Our pricing starts at 24.000 USD/year - without Translations. Those are extra. Do you think we should continue talking?” Hahaha, no, I’m not. Enjoy your life in arrogance.
- Web Translate It: https://webtranslateit.com - Last used 2015, was a bit bulky to use back then. Reliable, easy to use
Looking for a recommendation: Try Lokalise. They really nail it. No frills, fast, clean design. It simply works. And that’s exactly what I need for lokalisation.
