If Memsource was all bad, nobody would use it. The supposed advantages of using Memsource According to our estimate, confirmed by what other colleagues say, we suffer a 30% drop in productivity when we work in Memsource instead of memoQ or Studio.

The lack of advanced features, the occasional slowness, and the fact you either cannot use your own memories and termbases or have to rely an external tool to search them, means that Memsource makes you less productive. No way to show tracked changes inline in the Memsource editor-you can only see the differences in the Change pane, and that is not enough.The little you can change, such as moving the panes from the right of the screen to the left, you can't save: next time you reopen the program, the panes are back where they started. You cannot increase the size of the lower panes (CAT, Search, Changes). No auto-complete in the desktop editor.Limited segment filtering when compared with memoQ or Studio-for example, no regular expressions in the filters.No such thing as memoQ's LiveDocs and Muses, or the wealth of added features SDL offers through the Open Exchange.Far fewer find and replace options than memoQ or Studio įind and replace in memoQ, Studio and Memsource.

This might be good for those who feel overwhelmed by too many choices, but experienced translators miss the advanced features they expect from professional translation tools. Memsource looks and acts like a stripped-down version of more powerful tools. I believe this speaks volumes about the limitations of the tool, although, to be fair, a Memsource representative told me they know of this bug and are working to correct it. When I complained about this to Memsource support, they told me the segments in question contained joins, tags, and were long, and this slowed online processing. In certain segments of a recent project, 9-10 seconds passed between the moment I hit a key and the time the corresponding character appeared-this meant typing blind. Yet, if you do so, while you can use your own memories, you lose access to Memsource's ones.Īnother problem is that sometimes Memsource is painfully slow, even on a fast Internet connection.

Use a different program (such as memoQ) to translate your Memsource projects.

Also, this workaround needs extra steps, so it slows you down. If you do this, however, you can use your resources only for reference-Xbench doesn't offer any automatic way to add new segments to a memory.

Load your translation memories and termbases in Xbench (or a similar tool), and use Xbench to search them.

Upgrade to a paid version of Memsource, in which case you can add your own memories and termbases to a project.

The most serious is that in the free version of Memsource you can't use your own memories and termbases-the program lets you work only on projects prepared by translation agencies, and only using the resources selected by them.

Memsource may be suitable for simple projects, but for more complicated ones and for advanced users it suffers from several serious drawbacks. Also, they can peddle it to translators as a "free" tool.

Probably a mix of several reasons, including that no software needs to be installed, since Memsource works in the cloud. I don't know why our customer (a translation agency) chose Memsource. A major customer of ours recently switched from SDL Trados Studio to Memsource.
