Home » Compare Comparing Smartcat and XTM Cloud Which software is better? Here is a rundown of features and reviews to help you make your decision. | |  |  | | Name | Smartcat | XTM Cloud | | Review breakdown | | | | Most helpful review | Great tool. Very comfort and helpful I used this tool above year and be cool with it. Program is constant in progress and getting better. I'm using it for freelance translation and can tell that this tool easy in use and have a lot of free helpful option. Machine translation is paid, but not expansive. Quality of this translation is not excellent, but, hey, where did you see great machine translation? It's just a help instrument, and it's more better Google translate(for example). I really recommend SmartCat. Just try!10 out of 13 found this review helpful.
Read more reviews → | I must say there are many tools that are much better and more translator-friendly... The tool has many drawbacks, i.e.:
- it is very difficult to go through a translation and do global changes
- there is no proper concordance search - the one there is does not open in a second window, but always takes you away from the phrase you are currently translating. Very annoying.
- it is very difficult to maintain consistency across very similar phrases (often previous translations are not offered as fuzzy matches)
- it is not possible to open two similar documents at once, i.e. you cannot refer back and forth between both of them
- there is not proper speedy spellcheck function
- you cannot display invisible characters (i.e. blank spaces between words)
- there is no possibility for the translator to view the translation in final layout before handing it back to the agency/client
etc. etc.27 out of 27 found this review helpful.
