webtranslateit.com Reviews & Product Details

I work in a nerdy schism of IT called Software Asset Management (SAM). I knew from the outset that I couldn't reasonably expect everyone to speak English. I required a product that would facilitate numerous translations to be imported into my maturity assessment platform in an automated but precise fashion. WebtranslateIT has never failed to deliver and is a vital cog in my international business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing - I wouldn't change a thing. The idea of translations managed at scale in a dynamic IT fashion is wonderfully executed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It was very easy to upload our existing translation keys using the API. It is very good that we can restrict user rights on a language-by-language basis, and this can be used for both in-house translators and outsourced translators at the same time. The solution is intuitive and, as we have more than 10 translators from different countries, it was very easy to onboard them. I really like that we can upload a screenshot of the pages where the translation key is located.

I like their support as well. They react quickly and professionally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't remember anything that bothers me. Maybe outdated UI? But it is not a blocking issue. I have thought that maybe it would be great if I can link some languages directly with Google translate because we do not have dedicated translators in place. But that's maybe just me not knowing how to do it? Maybe it is possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This tool is great for localisation, it contains all that you need to set up a multi-language mobile application or website. I been using Webtranslateit now for 6 years and it is amazing.

It supports all kinds of file formats for all platforms, iOS, XML for Android, YML, or JSON

It allows multiple configurations to know what to do if a translation is missing, empty, fallback, or the translation key

I can assign multiple roles to users to define clear tasks

It has support for automatic suggestions, proofreading settings

I can use a CLI tool to integrate with my CI/CD platform.

I use the REST API to publish dynamically translations and content.

It supports well HTML or other types of markup.

RTL works like a charm.

Overall it has all that you need to be integrated as static files or dynamically to your building pipeline. It's awesome, for content managers, developers, or the SRE teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only downside I can think of, if you change the locale configuration it will rename the file containing the translations, make sure if you change the locale to review the file name. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use to help translate documents and communication Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not the most up to date but still a good resource to use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We've used WebTranslateIt for years to translate our platforms, IOS & Andriod mobile apps into 30+ Languages. We've always used freelance translators and the process has always been so simple to get them set up and translating straight away which is so helpful, particularly on a tight deadline. The discussions feature has been invaluable to support translators in context to the appropriate string. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI & design is a little dated; however, I hear that this may be being revamped! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We at Tresorit have been using Webtranslateit for more than four years. It's an excellent tool for managing localization. Our translators like the different filters they can use while working on the new segments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI is a bit outdated, but I heard that the team is working on a bigger revamp to introduce a new layout.

Another improvement would be to introduce tagging or aliasing a file to help the translators under Filers->File. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We've used WTI for years. It works well with the Ruby on Rails conventions (and other formats too) including stuff like pluralisation.

It highlights markup and validates things like same number of newlines, which can help catch issues.

Lets you provide explanatory texts and length limits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Syncing files between your repo and WTI is effectively like a force-push in Git – it does not attempt to intelligently merge, so we do the "WTI dance" – make local changes, stash them, pull down from WTI to verify nothing else would be affected, unstash, push to WTI. A more intelligent merge would be better. Better still would be if we didn't have to explicitly push from our dev environment to WTI – ideally we'd just push our changes to Git, and WTI would pick up the new or changed translations via a webhook or whatever.

Updates are slow in a big project, and the command-line utilities don't handle this well. If I e.g. push some source locale changes to WTI, it can then take several minutes and several tries before it lets me pull down the updated target locale files. If I want to commit all those changes together, that gets annoying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the simplicity, I don't want to learn how to use another tool and they manage to solve this well. Also I never saw the site down or had any technical issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface it's a bit dated and it has too many buttons around, they need to hire an UI/UX designer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Coordination of large translation projects for apps and websites : easy to use, easy to import translation files, easy to export, and easy to dialogue with different collaborators. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Maybe the UI is not the fanciest you could have, it could be improved but still serves its purpose. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the fact it supplies bulk operations such as machine translation, copy tagging.

Makes it very easy to manage a multilingual app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI looks like something from the early 2000s. It is usable, just not that appealing... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
