Compare Translation Management

alexandrucibotari edited this page Mar 1, 2024 · 4 revisions

Here you can find the comparison between other products on the market:

Keep in mind that different platforms try to achieve different requirements, and not all the time the Localess will match with competitors :

  • Here we will compare only Localess Translation Management Tool, and not Content Management System (CMS) features.
  • On some platforms, you can order to translate the text with Professional Translation Agency. Where in the Localess we push more in the direction of Google Translate AI out-of-box.
  • On some platforms, you can have translate tasks, where again the target is to track Professional Translation Agency's progress.
