POEditor

Avantages

POEditor is an easy to use online localization tool for web and mobile projects. We unified all localization terms among web, iOS and Android platforms and manage translations on POEditor platform centrally.
Its API gives the opportunity to update the localization content on the fly and updated on the clients instantly.
Translators and colleagues should be assigned to the language pairs, so it makes collaboration very easy.

Inconvénients

API data gives lots of information about translated terms. It increases the data transferred for localization and make it difficult to manage translations over API.
Price tiers are calculated per added term to languages. If the project has a huge amount of localized text price should be very high.

Avantages

Choosing POEditor for our open-source project has been a game-changer, especially given its generous free access for open-source projects. The platform's user-friendly interface and seamless collaboration tools have made the localization process a breeze for our team and streamlined multilingual content management.

One standout feature we absolutely love is the use of tags. The ability to organize localization through tags and export them for use as namespaces with i18n has proven to be a game-changer. It adds a layer of flexibility and granularity to our localization strategy, allowing us to manage and deploy translations with a level of precision that aligns seamlessly with our project's needs.

Inconvénients

One thing that's worth mentioning is the inability to manually order translation keys. While it might not be a dealbreaker for everyone, our project occasionally requires a precise organization of keys, and this limitation has posed a minor challenge. It's a nuance that we've learned to work around, but it's something to consider, especially if your project heavily relies on meticulous key sequencing.

Pourquoi passer à POEditor

Avantages

POEditor is easy to use, gives you translation suggestions and allows others to contribute to translating your app by either an invite based system or just by allowing anyone to edit it.
Nice API to use programs that allow you to integrate it with for example Gradle so you can easily update the language translations of your app.
You can import and export transitions in many file formats, so they are easy to implement in your product, like Android XML and PO.

Inconvénients

No option as far as I know to, after allowing everyone to translate your project, exclude specific languages from being edited by someone else. For example, I only want to edit the English translation myself and not allow anyone else to change that.
It has quite a steep price increase above the free tier, especially if you are using it for relatively small, not very high profit (open source) apps.

Avantages

It works, they listen to their users and improve the produt and they have a fantastic support.

Inconvénients

some bottom page options UX could be improve (mainly the tag/delete term select), maybe improve a little the API for large project

Avantages

The POEditor interface is very straightforward and user-friendly. It’s easy to bring in team members and external collaborators, assign roles, and collaborate on translations. POEditor also integrates smoothly with our code repository, which is incredibly useful for automating the syncing of translation files. Additionally, it connects seamlessly with external translation services, simplifying the process of getting translations done quickly.

Inconvénients

One area that feels inconvenient is managing work with external translation services, particularly when handling revisions. The interface isn’t ideally set up for reviewing changes between revisions or tracking updates, which can make it challenging to confirm consistency and accuracy during the revision process.

Avantages

POEditor manager to always show the right data on screen, e.g. how much percentage is translated for your language. This helps keeping me motivated to finalize the translations and get to that fabulous 100%.

Another thing I really like is the UI/UX for adding translations. It really helps with keeping the focus on context and translating and doesn't distract you from what you are doing.

Inconvénients

The credit system for automated translations. While our product needs translations in a specific context, I can understand that for others it could be very annoying.

Avantages

I like simplicity and clarity the most. The ability to leave more information for translation is excellent, so I can imagine the context for translation. I will also receive information by e-mail about the need for a new translation.

Inconvénients

I haven't had any problems while using it.

Avantages

POEditor is very easy to learn and use. Search and filter functions are very intuitive.

Inconvénients

This is not a major con but the UI could be in my native language.

Avantages

POEditor has many great features, including an error notifier that let's the user know when there are punctuation mistakes in the translated phrases/sentences. Another realy useful feature is the ease to share files between users.

Inconvénients

I didn't really find any cons to the application, except maybe the fact it's lacking one or two features such as the ability to sort and group similar strings in app localizations.

Avantages

It easily supports many languages and adding a new language is pretty fast

Inconvénients

The pricing is not flexible enough, and there is no enough transparency in translation deployment

Avantages

Uso a versão gratuita, mas enquanto utilizei a premium, tive acesso a traduções automáticas e sugestões muito acertivas, baseadas em outras traduções ou em um banco de dados próprio.

Inconvénients

Não existem atalhos como TAB para passar para a proxima tradução, não tem ferramenta de "replace" ou edição em lote, para pesquisar uma palavras e trocar todas palavras correspondentes. Após definir a linguagem de referencia, não consegui mais achar mais a opção para trocá-la.

Avantages

La facilidad de uso, la rapidez en su uso y la claridad de los temas.

Inconvénients

Lo que me resulta más laborioso es acceder a nuevos trabajos. NO me resulta fácil incorporar nuevos proyectos (quizás porque no sé utilizarlo correctamente). Luego, como generalmente traduzco “catalán”, el buscar esta lengua tampoco resulta sencillo, ya que aparece (creo recordar) con ES.ca o similar.
