I've noticed that more agencies are using WordBee for their translations. Has any of you guys used it? What do you think? Thanks.

Exporting and importing May 7, 2022

I use it on and off, and I don't like it at all.
Wordbee's only useful functions are export of a file, translation of the file in your favorite CAT tool, importing of the translated file back in Wordbee and finalizing the work before submitting it to a client. That's about it.

It's okay, I only use it for the occasional back translation. It doesn't have a lot of functionalities but it's user friendly.

Easy and seamless export-import. I work in Trados, so that is my only concern. Otherwise, as an online tool, WordBee is pretty simple, quick and inoffensive for very small projects. My only objection is an enormous number of false positives during the automated quality control, but it's not an issue for small files, and anything else is processed in Trados.
