Hi Lisa,

We are currently using Transifex and are starting soon an RFP process in which we will also evaluate Smartling and Localize. Any direct thoughts from your side, why to move away from Localize?

Let me know when you want to know anything about Transifex.

Best,

Nora

Hi Nora! We use Transifex for our LMS screen translation and we have no issues with it. We have been using them since May 2024.

Hi ​@Lisa R 

We’re using SmartCat, it functions very similar to LocalizeJS or TransFx in that it’s script based. They even helped us with customizing the translations across our site so that our course catalog which is already localized would NOT be auto-translated/localized. And since we were already using SmartCat for translation management, it made sense to extend that workflow to our site.

We also evaluated Smartling, which looked like it could work, but it follows a very different model. Instead of using a header script that is embeded into your TI site, Smartling relies on an intermediate server that stores and serves translation strings, so the process and implementation are a bit different.

Let me know if you have any follow-up questions and I’ll do my best to answer.
