What do you like best about GlobalLink?

Using GlobalLink has increased the quality of our translations in the sence that we now work with a set of common Translation Memories that all our staff working with translations benefit from. The result is a more professional language across different sources and files using the same terminology.

I appreciate the support we have received both from the Transperfect technical team through the setting up of our Inriver connector as well as the PM team at Semantix answering multiple questions covering all areas of working with both the translations and the platforms involved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GlobalLink?

Sometimes It takes a while to get answers from tech support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is GlobalLink solving and how is that benefiting you?

GlobalLink assist us in keeping a unified language/tone and speed up our translation proces.

Earlier, we did a lot of translations directly in different files and publications; introducing GlobalLink will help up lift the translation process to a more professional level and speed up the translation process. We use internal reviewers from our local sites to validate the machine translated content and after having used the GlobalLin tools for reviews they even direct more translation requests to go through the system if they are asked for translations outside the system, simply because they like the tools and it helps them to quickly do their review.

Other reviewers working on reviews from the Inriver connection have had a somewhat steeper learning curve, since preview and context is different - but the Semantix PM team have offered vaulable sparring and help to get best possible support to all working with GlobalLink translations.

What do you like best about GlobalLink?

Great for enterprise users with large use cases and 1000s of requests, as well as those within the business with ad hoc needs who only need to occasionally use the platform with more entry level iterations of the product that you can grow from over time.

Well thought out UI design and different user journeys based on your specific user roles to enable anything from an easy self service request to more complex workflows leveraging multiple vendors and steps in the process where each step is captured as a data point that can be reported on to allow ongoing refinement of an enterprise solution.

You can easily translate any type of material - be it videos, websites, and documents, with critical visual context, getting AI power assistance through the process with the ability to easily add human in the loop translation, editing or review as needed to enable continued learned by the system.

Numerous out of the box connectors to most common CMS, PIM, CRM platforms etc, including the latest headless platforms disrupting the market, and and easy to implement given how robust the connectors are at this point.

Few different customer service options ranging from a new help centre with easy bite sized videos, to more standardized ticket support and dedicated account teams we can really speak to.

The product keeps innovating over time and you can really see the continued investment in both the product as well as the teams you interact with based on their long tenure with the company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GlobalLink?

The biggest challenge is always the internal education of the tools of what they can do and what they can't in terms of software can't solve every problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is GlobalLink solving and how is that benefiting you?

Before GlobalLink everything was managed manually, which was costly and added huge overheads internally to all teams that touched translation of content. We now have fully automated workflows to manage the process end to end, leveraging AI in the process where it makes sense and dramatically cutting time to market and enabling us to reinvest cost savings to do far more with the budgets we have. Through the tooling it also enables us to monitor quality and KPIs to ensure we can deliver to a high standard and continue to learn and refine our processes.

What do you like best about GlobalLink?

GlobalLink is very user-friendly. Buttons are easy to find and it's easy to set up your account. The account team is also great and meets with us biweekly to discuss any ongoing issues. We use the site several times a day and have set up templates for our different market needs. It was a mostly seamless process to become integrated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GlobalLink?

We would like more customization of the templates - ex., we want to set up deadlines for X number of business days per template, but we are forced to select a specific date every time we create a project. Some of the languages are not intuitive.

When translations are complete, we receive automatic email notifications per language. We would like this to be customizable so that we get one comprehensive email once it is final rather than an email for every language -- this feels messy and "noisy." The link to access the project also takes us to the "old" site and not to the specific project, so it's a pain to go back to the new site to access the project.

There are many features you can only access by toggling to the old site - it would be nice to be able to access these in the new site as well, even if that means tucking them behind action buttons.

We used TransPort before moving to GlobalLink and loved the chat feature. We would love to see this reintegrated into GlobalLink as well.

It would be great to be able to add other miscellaneous documents (such as internal emails) to GlobalLink as well per project. These would not go to the linguists, it would just be for our reference in case we have an issue in the future and need to review the history of the project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is GlobalLink solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is eliminating our need to send emails for translation requests and serves as a simpler way to store and manage translation projects (archival benefits). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about GlobalLink?

My company is very interested in incorporating AI into our process and from what I have seen in the last 2 days, I believe that Globallink would be the right choice to help my department achieve that goal. I attended the conference last year before AI was brought into the conversation, and this year solidified my choice. Further discussions will be had to move forward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GlobalLink?

I unfortunatelt cannot accurately answer this questions as I have not used the globalink products in quite a few years and I know many changes have been made since I last did. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is GlobalLink solving and how is that benefiting you?

The intention of using globallink would be for their GenAI technology to help acquire translations with a faster turnaround and a lower cost to the company overall. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about GlobalLink?

I prefere Aqua because it is simple and visually clean. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GlobalLink?

I do not like the Sapphire PD because it lacks the functions the previous Project Director in Aqua. Also, it has been made more complicated in comparison to its predecessor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is GlobalLink solving and how is that benefiting you?

everyday operations like assigning reviewers, monitoring progress, quotation management, getting deliverables, kicking off the projects etc. My previous GlobalLink experience at another company was slightly better, because there were reports with raw data available in the Reports tab, as well as couple of customized reports.
