Transifex helps me manage my localization teams. It allows me to assign people to different roles and has every function a CAT tool has in the cloud. It's straightforward to review translations and keep translation memories and glossaries. I use it almost daily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes, when working with several Engineering teams, the translation memories don't talk with each other. In this case, we need to do a manual search (Transifex does have a button for that). Another thing is that the glossaries are a little hard to use for languages with a lot of conjugations. If you are not using the word in a standard form, it does signalize an error, so you need to add all different forms to the glossary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like on transifex that tool has a minimal UI experience which made the things easy for a user (even beginner) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What I would like transifex to improve, is a bit more several sections in order to be clear on users (clarifications or hints) in order to unleash all the capabilities of tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The best part is in my opinion the intuitivity of the tool. Without any prior onboarding, on-screen guides or similar you can easily get going with translating stuff instantly after creating an account. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
In general I have few complaints. Perhaps the search function when trying to find stuff previously translated could be a bit more user friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

supporting several languages

Search mechanism is not very convenient
Sometimes the translation isn't ideal (because of context) and you need to hire additional translators for verifying (not the platform's fault of course) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
a lot of language options
very little code integration Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
we had issues with our git flow (naming of prs)

I recently had the opportunity to work in integrating Transifex into our team's CI/CD and workflows, and I have to say that I am impressed with its performance. The tool has greatly improved our team's ability to add new localized tests quickly and efficiently, thanks to its ease of use and streamlined approach.
In the past, adding new localized texts was a time-consuming process that required a lot of effort from our team. However, since the integration of this tool into our workflows, the process has become much simpler and more convenient. We can now complete these tasks in a fraction of the time it used to take, freeing up valuable resources for other important tasks.
One of the things I appreciate most about this tool is how seamlessly it has been integrated into our team's existing workflows. It has become an integral part of our development process, making it easier to maintain and update the tool in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
To be honest, I cannot think of anything that I dislike about Transifex. I have had an incredible experience with Transifex, and I cannot find any faults with it. Its features, ease of use, and overall functionality have exceeded my expectations, and I have found it to be an invaluable tool that has greatly improved my productivity (to the point we bearly remember having this integration at times).

- Easy to use interface
- lots of support available
- easy to manage
- has majority of the features needed for translation management Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
- pricing is a little more compared to alternatives Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The interface is clean and it is easy to get onboard with it. Also I really appreciate the translation memory and suggestions since sometimes it is easy to forget whether you translated something similar, or just for the sake of coherence on key terms along the translations. Recently we had to contact support and the attention and service provided was professional and helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Many options for translation engines: DeepL, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, ...etc.
- Transifex Live allows us to efficiently check translated content in context; we can see the translated content on actual web page views and edit it if necessary.
- Transifex Glossary can apply for machine translations ensuring translation consistency
- Transifex Editor allows us to update multiple sentences using search and replace.
- Easy integration with ReadMe Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
- Web pages that do not exist are also registered in "Pages"; this makes it difficult to find pages that need to be checked. Web pages that return 404 or 500 errors should not be registered in Pages. It would also be helpful if "Pages" could sort by registration date, number of strings pending approval.
- There is no way to undo "approve strings": if you accidentally approve a bunch of strings, it'll be hard to delete them. Even strings that are unnecessary to translate because they do not appear on the web page will consume the word count included in the licence. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
