Great TMS Product, Support & Service **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Justin S. | Digital Marketing Manager, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 23, 2021 **What do you like best about Lingotek?** The user interface is very simple. I am able to set up new users in minutes. Translations are returned on time. However, overall the support and service from Lingotek are the best. **What do you dislike about Lingotek?** Sometimes we need a second round of translations due to the first set not being up to standard. **Recommendations to others considering Lingotek:** Lingotek has more than exceeded my expectations. Before choosing Lingotek as our translation partner, I looked at many other providers, and my organization was concerned about costs. However, we were convinced that they had the best interface and that over time it would prove as a cost-saving vs. how we used to get translations because of the translation memory bank. This has proven to be the case now that our entire organization (departments) globally has adopted Lingotek. Additionally, the account management and support teams at Lingotek have been exceptional! **What problems is Lingotek solving and how is that benefiting you?** Having all departments use Lingotek and leveraging the translation memory ensures our content is consistent and saves us money. ### 2. Great TMS for Drupal **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Paul J. M. | Director of Technology, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 02, 2021 **What do you like best about Lingotek?** One of the best Lingotek features is their support. I have a dedicated Language Services PM, a dedicated TAM, and an Account Manager who are all up to speed on my accounts. Additionally, their translation memory system makes the translation process very cost-effective. The flexibility of their workflows is unmatched. We're able to configure any type of workflow required by our clients. **What do you dislike about Lingotek?** I've had difficulty with a few inherited installs of Lingotek, but we were able to work out the details with a little hard work and coordination. **What problems is Lingotek solving and how is that benefiting you?** We need to reliably translate content in Drupal with a variety of different workflows. We've found that by standardizing on Lingotek we have been able to streamline the process and develop a strong relationship with their team. The primary benefit is a repeatable process. ### 3. A powerful translation system supported by a dedicated, top-notch team **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Charles J. | Senior Web Manager, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 23, 2021 **What do you like best about Lingotek?** It's got to be the people. Lingotek has people who are committed to your success, and demonstrate the commitment consistently. **What do you dislike about Lingotek?** The TMS, while very powerful, takes some time to learn. I've used other TMS systems before (Sovee, Smartling, etc.) and the Lingotek one is the most complex. But it's also the most powerful. **What problems is Lingotek solving and how is that benefiting you?** Translation is, of course, the most obvious problem. But translation *with* localization is a big stumbling block for everyone. My team is continuing to work with the Lingotek teams to develop better solutions for localizing translated content, so that it resonates well with our target audiences around the world. ### 4. Excellent translation tool **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Eva M. | Freelance technical translator and software localizer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 10, 2021 **What do you like best about Lingotek?** I’ve been using Lingotek TMS as a translator for many years. It’s a streamlined and friendly translation tool, with a neat interface and a complete set of translation features. It’s fast and convenient, and any professional translator can learn to use it in no time. It provides all the standard functions a translator needs, including an excellent Context viewer where most source files can be viewed (and downloaded) to check the layout, and where the translated text can also be seen in context as the translation work progresses. Assets can be exported for translation in other tools, if needed, or to be checked in external QA tools, though TMS also features an easy to use internal QA tool. Translator can forget about saving the assets, because the entire process takes place online. There’s also a great support team that can help with any questions. **What do you dislike about Lingotek?** Nothing, really. Just one suggestion for future updates: t would be great to be able to obtain updated translation logs as the translation work progresses. **What problems is Lingotek solving and how is that benefiting you?** It's helped increase my productivity with all my Lingotek translation projects. ### 5. Lingotek is a powerful and flexible Translation Management System **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ashraf S. | Translator, Localizer and DTP Specialist, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 27, 2021 **What do you like best about Lingotek?** Lingotek is easy to use and supports so many languages, even some of the rare languages. It also offers a great number of features that help make the translation and review process very easy. **What do you dislike about Lingotek?** Sometimes the tasks do not appear, and I have to clear my computer cash memory to be able to see the jobs **What problems is Lingotek solving and how is that benefiting you?** It enables me to have all my translation and review work in one place. ### 6. Great team of professionals and very high tech **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Translation and Localization | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 27, 2021 **What do you like best about Lingotek?** Lingotek's workbench uses an innovative approach to managing projects, keeping track of assignments, and quality control. Very easy to use and a huge time-saver for language professionals. Lingotek's team is responsive and always there in case of questions. **What do you dislike about Lingotek?** I can't think of any criticism to give this company except that I wish they had more projects to translate in my language pair. **What problems is Lingotek solving and how is that benefiting you?** I worked with this company for years; they are a realible partner. ### 7.

Very pleasant and worthy experience by using Lingotek **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Business Supplies and Equipment | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 10, 2021 **What do you like best about Lingotek?** It can support many formats of files and you can easily find the track changes among different phases. **What do you dislike about Lingotek?** It requires very good network, the speed working on it is not fast. **What problems is Lingotek solving and how is that benefiting you?** The webpage on ICR phase was not displaying well. It's convenient to divide different files to many linguists if necessary. ### 9. TMS RECOMMENDATION: LINGOTEK **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Thiago P. | Linguistic and Functional Tester, Translation and Localization, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 02, 2018 **What do you like best about Lingotek?** ingotek has been around for some time, and while it might not be as universally used as other tools, like Smartling or Worldserver, it has a lot of advantages over them: Lingotek has more connectors than any other major TMSs. That gives you the ability to work with multiple files or platform compatible formats without leaving your TMS environment. Lingotek is much more intuitive to use and has a much lower learning curve. Implementing a management system, or switching from another one, can be a hassle. Lingotek just makes these processes easier for the linguists, managers, and clients. Lingotek has a tight integration with major CMSs, as well as with Salesforce. You probably already use one or more of these tools, anyway. I particularly like the integration that Lingotek has with WordPress, using the PolyLang plugin. Lingotek is just beautiful. If you, like me, are also into interface design and usability, you will find Lingotek a joy to use. **What do you dislike about Lingotek?** Lingotek is not as universally used as Smartling or Worldserver, and that might be a problem if you're working with clients that require those tools, but overall Lingotek has the best user experience. **Recommendations to others considering Lingotek:** While there is not such a thing as the best tool – you may find that Worldserver or XTRF will better suit your needs, and that’s fine – I consider Lingotek the best player in the game, due to its simplicity, beautiful UI, and tight connection with major services out there. **What problems is Lingotek solving and how is that benefiting you?** Translation Memory management. **Official Response from Greg Larsen:** > Thank you for the review, Thiago! We are happy that you have enjoyed working in the Lingotek platform. Because of awesome customers like you, we are becoming more well-known and more used in the market. Thanks again. ### 10. Very User-friendly Tool **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Publishing | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 25, 2018 **What do you like best about Lingotek?** It's a very user-friendly tool and it doesn't need much training to learn how to use it. **What do you dislike about Lingotek?** The interface is not very functional, meaning you cannot have at the same time a view of the TM and of the glossary. **Recommendations to others considering Lingotek:** For a translator is a very straightforward tool. **What problems is Lingotek solving and how is that benefiting you?** It is required to work on a specific job for a specific client. **Official Response from Greg Larsen:** > We are glad that you found our TMS product intuitive and easy to use. We'd love to have you continue to use our TMS for future clients and projects. Let us know if you'd like to see how things have been upgraded since 2018. ### 11. Buggy with server errors **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Management Consulting | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 23, 2018 **What do you like best about Lingotek?** I like it that I am able to search through available projects and find projects that are most suitable to me. I also like that it shows the current progress on each project. I like it that I am able to see all the projects that I have worked on. I also like that I can mark projects off, once I had completed them. I like to see the projects that my teammates are working on. **What do you dislike about Lingotek?** I do not like it that I constantly have to refresh the page because updates do not appear automatically. i do not like it that my page does not appear automatically but I would need to filter for my projects. There often seem to be server issues as well. The layout of the page is outdated as well. **Recommendations to others considering Lingotek:** Expect server errors. **What problems is Lingotek solving and how is that benefiting you?** I use Lingotek for organizing my translation projects and also for picking up additional projects. I also use it for tracking my progress on various projects. **Official Response from Greg Larsen:** > Hi thank you for the review.
