"Great TMS Product, Support & Service"

5/5

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Lingotek?

Sometimes we need a second round of translations due to the first set not being up to standard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great TMS for Drupal"

5/5

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A powerful translation system supported by a dedicated, top-notch team"

5/5

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

"Excellent translation tool"

4.5/5

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"TMS RECOMMENDATION: LINGOTEK"

4.5/5

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very User-friendly Tool"

5/5

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
