Gengo Reviews & Provider Details

Our team was seeking to create advertisement materials for a global scale. Gengo's translations have made it easy to have high quality translations for a relatively inexpensive cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Gengo's translators are very speedy in the amount of time that it takes to produce a translation. Our sales rep and their team are also very responsive to any corrections/adjustments needed (and tend to produce results quicker than the initial expected time). The service is very cost-efficient. I also like how we can select what level of translation and what type of materials we are looking to translate - this allows a subject expert and a proofreader to ensure a high quality translation.

We use Gengo to translate text on our social ads and landing pages to provide a better and more cohesive experience for our users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that you are allowed to request edits to the translations provided. For example, if they provide you with a translation for a word that doesn't make sense for your business, you can request as many edits as you want until you're happy with the results.

We realized that we had a sizable chunk of users in other countries and wanted to test targeting by languages. Our marketing copy is pretty short and sweet, so most traditional translation services/tools were too complicated for us, and Google Translate isn't reliable. We're able to translate short copy pretty quickly for a very affordable rate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Gengo has pretty great turnaround time and accurate estimates for time and cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I utilized Gengo's services while working at an advertising agency for a client project. The project was a campaign implemented in over 10 different Southeast Asian countries, therefore requiring multiple languages. Specifically, the content requested for translations was regarding a webpage explaining the rules for a contest that was a part of the campaign. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The pricing. Because of Gengo's business model, which utilizes freelance individuals (stay-at-home moms and dads, part time workers, university students, etc.) who are capable enough in both languages required, the pricing is accordingly cheaper than utilizing a traditional professional translation agency. Related to this, the content can literally be 1 paragraph, if that's all that's required.

Of course, this means that you can't expect the high quality of a professional translation agency - so it must be used for appropriate purposes (where quick speed, low cost are required relative to the volume needed). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
