Language Quality Assessment plays an important role in our QA strategy because it helps us abide by ISO 17100 standards. The exportable LQA scorecard is a standout feature and a valuable visual tool as it allows our project managers and language leads to send professional, objective feedback to freelance translators. It also helps us impartially resolve internal and external complaints.

Memsource’s automated Workflows help our project managers efficiently manage translations and significantly reduce project turnaround time. The powerful combination of workflows with project templates and automatic project creation makes the translation process even faster.

Large and mature translation buyers need more than just translations – they ask for innovative and efficient solutions. Such solutions can take the form of plugins or connectors for their various Content Management Systems. This is where Memsource has helped us win new and retain existing customers. Thanks to Memsource’s REST APIs we have developed powerful and attractive integrations to help our clients improve and automate their workflows.

We switched from an on-premise CAT tool to Memsource, which is cloud-based, in order to support remote work. Thanks to its intuitive UI and the easy importing of translation memories, we were able to move to Memsource without a hitch and people who had no prior Memsource experience were able to use it right away. More than 70% of our projects use TMs, and we are able to maintain a high level of efficiency.

Memsource has proven to be a reliable partner when it comes to delivering quality translations to our customers in a timely fashion. Memsource Mobile in particular is a unique software solution that helps us provide even the most urgent translations while maintaining quality and ensuring that our services remain profitable. Our translators also enjoy working with Memsource. Many of them find it significantly more user-friendly than other CAT tools on the market. Using Memsource Mobile, they are able to deliver smaller translations, under 100 words, on the go or even while riding on the metro. We are happy to recommend Memsource to anyone who is used to having a versatile, dependable and relevant tool at their disposal, as well as having a trusted business partner with a keen understanding of customer needs.

Memsource is flexible and has adaptable functionality that can probably meet very diverse use and business cases. There is constant development of functionalities, good support, and nice people that try to understand your needs and help you find the best solutions.

Maintaining translation consistency with Memsource

We chose Memsource at Bohemia Interactive because it does exactly what we need, and for a fair price. We benefit mainly from the translation memory and fuzzy matches, which not only help to increase quality and overall consistency of our output but also help us to optimize costs. Translation and quotes management have been a huge step up for us, and we are able to process multiple file formats without the need of further import or export. Indeed, it is an invaluable tool which changed the way we localize for the better.

We’ve been using Memsource since our team was formed 3 years ago. In that time, we’ve gone through office moves, business trips, and late-night text emergencies but, thanks to Memsource, our localization projects have always stayed on track.

Being professional users of other leading CAT tools for several years and handling great amounts of projects per year, Memsource has convinced us with its project templates. This function saves our translation project managers a lot of time when creating projects as everything is pre-filled automatically. We also find the analysis and quotes function very handy as this gives us full transparency in translation related expenses even before placing the order. From a management point of view Memsource provides us a much needed overview of the whole translation process chain and makes the handling of translation service providers quite easy.

Memsource is easy to pick up and use right away. This is especially good for people who are just getting started with a TMS. Other services can be quite daunting when you first start them up. The UI is intuitive and streamlined, which makes for a great user experience. Constant updates and a very responsive support team are also a plus.

For Latinoamérica Habla, using Memsource is an enormous challenge and, at the same time, a great solution in the task of revitalizing indigenous languages. The difficulties that we face result from the lack of knowledge that communities have with software. They are used to working in a more traditional way. The vast amount of Memsource features can be intimidating at first but over time they learn to focus on the tools they need and achieve more efficient translations. Thanks to Memsource, Latinoamérica Habla's impact is threefold. We give job opportunities to indigenous communities, digitize endangered languages, and insure the NGO is sustainable in the long term.

Going from in-house tools to a professional platform has been a game changer. Memsource is a disrupter in its field and shares our passion for tech and customer service.

Memsource allows me to hide complexity from internal localization clients. Requests are easily submitted to our language service provider through Memsource’s automation widgets or via Automated Project creation through Cloud storage such as Dropbox. These features have significantly streamlined our localization process and reduced turnaround time.

If you have never used a CAT tool before, Memsource will get you up and running in no time. We send each translator a comparison table with feedback so that they can see what changes have been made at each step of the process and understand what to look out for. I find Memsource to be the easiest tool for translators to use.

Our industry is changing fast, and as a translation agency, you will need technical platforms that are flexible and that will enable you to easily integrate different tools and collaborate with technical partners throughout the translation process. I would suggest looking for a flexible system that does not lock you in and allows you to scale in use to better serve your customers. In March 2018, Amesto was bought by Semantix AB.

Memsource Testimonial Freelance Translator

Memsource is not only professional translation software, but also an efficient tool for teaching and learning, in particular, enhancing translator competence and translation efficiency as well as increasing learners’ global competitiveness in the translation market.

Memsource Student Certification Dr Venus Chan

Having access to translation technology tools is of great importance for translation students... Fortunately, Memsource, which is a Computer-Aided Translation (CAT) tool, offers a free academic edition to the translation departments of the universities since 2012.

Memsource is intuitive to learn for project managers and linguists, and to have such advanced features available in a cloud-based tool is simply amazing, not to mention cross-platform editors for Mac and Windows.

I am convinced that training translation students to become proficient users of CAT-tools will help them to acquire the necessary experience and skills to be more competitive on the translation market. Memsource gives this opportunity to our students.

In 2019, the University of Salento introduced Memsource to master students of technical translation and interpreting in the framework of the CAT laboratory course. This cloud-based CAT platform offers a complete set of CAT functionalities as well as a truly effective and intuitive UI. The learning curve of the platform is steep (i.e., significant learning outcomes can be achieved quickly) and students appreciated this a lot. The availability of desktop and mobile versions widens the usage scenario significantly, as offline working and full portability can be exploited, too. From a technical perspective, Memsource REST APIs enable integration with additional, third-party tools effectively, reducing the gap between academic and professional sectors.

Marco Zappatore Adjunct Professor of CAT Laboratory at University of Salento

Thanks to Memsource, students learn to set up and execute whole translation projects: From TM creation, through choosing the best MT engine depending on the job, to delivering post-editing work.

I wanted to make all course participants project managers as that would allow them to see the full chain of tasks required to produce a translation. With Memsource, we found a solution that allows exactly that.

With the help of Memsource, our students not only learn how the program works but also get a wonderful opportunity to become more motivated and responsible for their projects because the simulation of the work process is close to their future work.

I have been using Memsource as a didactic tool for three years now. I find that it is the perfect tool to introduce students to all the main functions and principles of CAT tools. It has a very user-friendly interface and students learn to use it very quickly.

Our first contact with the Memsource Academic Edition went well and students liked it very much, especially because they soon got familiar with the basic functions. Memsource is really user friendly and simple to use. Another positive point is that Memsource is cloud-based and can be accessed from multiple devices at any time. It was also very easy to implement the tool in translation classes.

The use of the CAT software from Memsource gives them [our students] a great chance to gain experience and job-specific translation skills on the stage of professional training at the university.

Memsource is an ideal tool for attaining our educational goals. Memsource’s uncluttered user interface makes it an excellent candidate for introducing students to both TM and project management tools.

We are very proud and thankful of being a college customer of Memsource Academic Edition. Memsource Cloud as a Cloud-based CAT tool has many advantages, such as low cost, easy management, collaborative translation and fast deliveries.

Ever since Memsource Cloud has been released, it has starred amongst our students’ favorite tools for its straightforwardness, interface clarity and low maintenance requirements for the end user.

Our experience of using this CAT tool has been very positive and the support from Memsource has been fast, professional and helpful.

In 2013 Aston University added Memsource to the CAT tools we use for the teaching of translation students. The Memsource Academic edition was easy to arrange, was provided quickly and is free of charge.

My students learned how to use Memsource and other mainstream CAT tools last semester. For the final project, they were requested to finish a project using a CAT tool of their choice. It turned out that almost half of the 50 students selected Memsource. I think it is remarkable for a relatively ‘new kid on the block’. Congrats.

Memsource is a very solid and well-defined CAT tool, and by far the best cloud-based solution I have worked with so far. As a very easy to learn, yet efficient solution, I would recommend it over traditional CAT tools for translators and for projects where an intuitive user interface is key to productivity.

Memsource is extremely helpful as a tool for collaborative translations, and its learning curve is virtually non-existent.

I discovered Memsource in 2013, and it is now my #1 CAT tool.

I have found it to be very easy to use, and more Japanese-friendly and freelancer-friendly than tools offered by other major players.
