Localize vs. memoQ

Localize is brilliant for a startup who needs to implement a cost effective solution for offering tailored languages on their site

MemoQ is especially useful when working in tandem with established translation agencies. The network access is one of the best and allows users to collaborate in projects easily. I would recommend memoQ in that manner, as I have always found it very intuitive and easy to use. All functionalities provided are a must for translators in the industry.

• Super easy integration - it takes one minute to add and configure the Localize WordPress plugin.
• Convenient Admin - it is straight forward to add a project, get the API key and start adding translations.
• Front End display - the switch between language is intuitive and efficient. It loads all languages super fast.

• We used the automated translator service because we are a start-up and price was everything. This posed a small problem because we were translating from English to Finnish. This is not such a common global language so automated translations tend to be quite bad but this was easily fixed due to the fact that Localize allows us to easily amend their suggested translations.

• Selection of multiple segments is not possible (you can select multiple segments that are following each other by holding down the shift key but not randomly selected segments by holding the Ctrl key or so).
• Make it easier to use filter configurations of a file already used in a project when adding a new file of the same type.

Frankly, we don't know what other translation management systems are out there, so we can't comment on how they compare to Localize.

I believe memoQ is the best of these 3 tools. It has soo much functionality. I wish I could use it for all my projects, but we have a lot of clients that want to use either Memsource or SDL Trados Studio. As for the Web Editor, our translators seem to prefer Memsource over memoQ, so this might be something memoQ can improve in the future.
