Project Engineer at Unilever Inc.

Long-term localization workflow has improved productivity and enables faster multilingual delivery

I would love to see better filter options in the project tab to improve Phrase Localization Platform. When we have approximately 50 to 100 active projects, it can be hard to find specifics, which is something I have noticed about the needed improvements. I give it a nine because the software offers both offline and online options for translators. It has a very user-friendly interface and is easy to pick up and learn. Also, it is very cost-effective. The reason why I did not give it a perfect score of 10 out of 10 is that I would love to see better filter options in the project tab.

"We've had no issues with stability."

"Phrase Localization Platform has positively impacted my organization by allowing me to save a lot of time because it's an AI-powered tool."

"Phrase Localization Platform has positively impacted my organization by increasing productivity, improving my skills, getting more clients due to software reliability, and also allowing us to finish translations much faster using MemoSource and saving a lot of time."

"Phrase Localization Platform is perfect for long projects where a whole team of translators and revisers have to work together, as it is very convenient, saves time, ensures the good quality of the target text, and makes working with terminology really simple since it is easy to add terms to the translation memory."

"Phrase Localization Platform helps speed up my workflow by 30 to 40% as it facilitates collaboration and is really intuitive."

Cons

"Improvements for Azul Zulu could include more automated tools for unused code visibility integrated directly into the standard portal to help further optimize our cloud footprints."

"It needs a better update daemon. At this time the process is manual and could be an issue on multiple desktop deployments."

"Phrase Localization Platform can be improved in the area of offline translation for DOCX, which is a little confusing and difficult."

"The reason why I did not give it a perfect score of 10 out of 10 is that I would love to see better filter options in the project tab."

"Phrase Localization Platform has impacted my organization by increasing our system cost considerably and generally slowing down the process of launching projects."

"Phrase Localization Platform can be improved as customization of some functionalities might be improved, but these improvements are really insignificant compared to the great usability of the system."
