What do you like best about Unbabel?

The ease of use of the interface and tools, make Unbabel less of a chore and more of a minor task. With the tool linked to our customer-facing Help Center, we're able to easily manage hundreds of articles in multiple languages. Everything is easy to manage, track and update. What was once a laborious task is something a new starter can learn in a very short time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Unbabel?

Unbabel is a fantastic tool for businesses looking to bridge language gaps. The mix of AI and human editors ensures accurate, natural translations, and it integrates seamlessly into workflows. It’s easy to implement, has responsive customer support, and is used daily in our operations. Multilingual communication has never been easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Unbabel?

Unbabel is great, but it has room for improvement. Customizing translations for niche industries takes time, and real-time speed for live chats could be faster. Pricing might also be a bit high for smaller businesses. Still, it’s a solid tool overall! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how it frees us from the stress of translation, so we can focus on what really matters—building relationships and providing great service. Plus, our customers appreciate being able to communicate in their preferred language, which boosts their satisfaction and loyalty. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Unbabel?

To preface - I think Unbabel as a company and a product has the best of intentions, and would probably work well for a large majority of use cases. Its support translation tool (integrated into Zendesk ticketing) is second to none, and works almost flawlessly, delivering pretty solid translations quickly - our agents had no trouble adjusting to using it and incorporating it into our standard workflows. The concept of varying "pipelines" of translation quality, dependent on cost, it a good one also - and it is very clearly outlined as to how it works when you onboard. The customised portal that Unbabel offers is a reasonable manner of tracking workflow, although could be improved.

On an implementation level, the team you are assigned is incredibly friendly and are (in most cases) very responsive and able to solve issues that arise along the way. Weekly syncs are useful and where they are not available to support, their own support team is there offering technical expertise promptly and effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Unbabel?

We were sold on the idea that Unbabel's full-PEMT pipeline (their highest quality AI-assisted option) would deliver near indistinguishable levels of quality from full human translation - this used in combination with their Zendesk Guide integration for our Help Centre. Our content was very technical, and unfortunately in use it turned out that their model was not capable of handling the complexity of the writing. Even though a significant amount of it went via human translators, the context as to our product, the terminology and things such as gendering (in German, for example) - were not able to be communicated and delivered effectively.

In addition, their Zendesk Guide integration was poor and lacked a number of very simple features - such as bulk article selection & accurate translation statuses.

Although there is so much focus on AI nowadays, there are simply some areas that AI cannot match a human for - and complex translation (even in better trained model languages such as French & German) is one of those aspects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Unbabel was supposed to help both with our support team translations (on tickets) and simultaneously with our Help Centre (FAQ article) content translations. The former worked very well, the latter, not so well. We have eventually determined that we cannot proceed with Unbabel beyond the first year due to the latter issue.
