XTM Transifex Reviews & Product Details

What I like most about XTM Transifex is that it allows us to manage all of our languages in one place, with a lot of the process automated. There is a bit of a learning curve at first, but once you become familiar with the tool, it’s straightforward to navigate and use efficiently.

I also really appreciate the level of support we receive. Our contact is very helpful and proactive, and any suggestions we’ve made as a team have been picked up and taken seriously. The follow-up communication is consistently strong, which makes the overall experience feel collaborative and well supported. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the main drawbacks for us has been the integration with Contentful. We invested a significant amount of time and effort into exploring this, but unfortunately it wasn’t feasible for our setup, which was disappointing.

We also find that the Translation Memory can be quite slow to become useful, as it tends to recognise full strings rather than individual wording or smaller changes within a string. As a result, the quality of the initial localisation is not always at the level we require and often needs a considerable amount of manual editing from our copy team.

For our use case, a more granular and responsive Translation Memory would significantly improve efficiency and localisation quality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI is clean and it's easy to follow progress on each project. We appreciate that there are many options available for source materials and API configuration so that it's easy to push and pull localization materials. So far, we've had no issues with performance either. It runs smoothly even with 10 languages in a project.

Even though we don't use screenshots in our workflow, it's a great feature to have, as it helps translators to see context better. Glossaries is another useful feature for consistent vocabulary.

As for the AI translation support, I had some time to test it out in our projects, and I have to say that it was surprisingly accurate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pricing is something that could be changed. It is very expensive, even when using only the main features and not all the integration possibilities. Whenever you need an upgrade to word count, the monthly sum rises by several hundreds, which is not sustainable in the long run. I feel like there are alternatives that can do the basic features that we use for much cheaper. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The projects are easy to access and organize, and all the data about what has been translated/reviewed is clear and easy to find. The workflow is great and there are many commands to research precise terms in the translations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The composition of the teams is more difficult to understand. It is sometimes hard to understand the detail of each role you can give to a user and I don't want to have to consult online help for something this simple, that could be described when I try to give a role to someone.

What I like most about Transifex is how it centralizes the entire localization process in one place, making it easy to manage translations efficiently. The platform is intuitive, allows for real-time collaboration, and helps maintain consistency across different markets. It also speeds up workflows by giving clear visibility on progress and reducing back-and-forth between teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One downside is that sometimes identical translation strings are used in different contexts, which can lead to confusion or less accurate translations. It would be helpful to have better context visibility or guidance within the platform, so translators can clearly understand where and how each string is being used.

I find Transifex extremely simple to use, even for a non-developer. Transifex made it easy and quick to translate our platform from English to Greek, which means we can expand our business overseas. It helped our business grow in other countries because it's easy to connect to our platform. I appreciate how we can translate with a touch of a button, finishing translations in under 2 hours, giving us more time. The initial setup was very easy and didn't take long at all.

It would be great to have different languages for the same countries. Example is in Greece depending on where you are there can be multiple meanings for one word. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The AI translations feature seems pretty cool. Can't wait to try it once more and do a POC! It seems that with AI translations, we can stop using AWS machine translations, save on that cost and at the same time speed up scaling into new markets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Translation Memory Fill-up feature probably needs a bit more flexibility. At the moment, because of our integration setup, the feature updates unwanted strings since our base language is not being reviewed. We could use the exceptions feature, but that might not solve the problem. We likely need to find another way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Support team is very responsive, the devs are continuously working on making things better, and our Customer Success Consultant, Jacob, is just the best. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- The TM parsing is not reliable at all. It also requires a lot of manual leverage.

- The way it handles strings is not very intuitive or user-friendly in terms of design, compared to let's say MemoQ or similar tools.

- UCI parsing can create issues sometimes, which devs on our end have to tackle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really appreciate the support team and the Transifex staff, as they are a pleasure to work with. XTM Transifex provides a much better interface and a greatly improved workflow compared to our previous system. The API is very useful, allowing us to programmatically retrieve translations and incorporate them into our app. It acts as a central point for translators and reviewers to collaborate on thousands of strings, which is incredibly valuable for translating our SaaS applications into many languages.

Some elements of the UI can be un-intuitive, such as user management Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how XTM Transifex makes things easier with its API, enabling ease of use. The task management being fully handled in-product is a great feature, and AI translations for all supported languages make my workflow smooth. The platform is adaptable to changes in technology and markets, keeping most features working efficiently, which is quite valuable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find the customization of reports in XTM Transifex a bit lacking; I wish I could build specific types of reports that match my unique business needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really appreciate Transifex's strong collaboration tools. They have these amazing tools that look pretty good and are easy to set up ourselves, they even work with everything at once which means we can get all our chores done much faster than before. The in-context editing feature is a big deal, it helps ensure translations fit perfectly within our UI without constant back and forth screenshots. Also, our whole team can manage lots of different language versions for our app easily now, so it looks pretty good everywhere and saves us a bunch of money too.

Lots of stuff can go wrong with a project if nobody knows what's going together. The learning curve for optimizing workflows takes up people's time, which means that we all slow down right at the start. Also, there are some things you can do to get better reports into translator performance or content quality metrics. It would be great having an easier way to check on a whole project’s health too.
