Also I love how clean the tool is, while others have so much visual info in them that you often can't find the one thing you want. > > **Cons**: I wish the QA was more customizable as it often finds too many issues that are not really issues. Also, I wish there was a way to do a "per line" character limit. It seems not CAT Tool as done it yet and it would be a HUGE thing in the game localization industry. ----- ### "Not a Good Service for JP-EN Text Localization" — 2.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *12 July 2022* | Writing & Editing | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like the fact that I can export files in Memsource to a format that I can actually work in and use the tools of my trade. This is genuinely the only thing I like about the program. > > **Cons**: Compared to Google Sheets, this program is simply for managers who value quantity over quality because it provides them an overview of how many scripts are done without them needing to go in and actually read any text. As a worker in the workflow, I cannot view any documents without the potential of a major technical issue requiring a ticket to fix (to which the "fix" was to create an entirely new project), cannot provide feedback to translators as they are working. The use of translation memory or automated translation or repeat line auto-translation is not a welcome feature in the visual novel sphere, as context dictates how a line may read. For languages where context is not as necessary to understand a line, perhaps this program would be useful, but for the Japanese-English pairing, it absolutely is not. I am unable to use any of the regular expression or spell check tools without exporting the document to a difficult-to-format DOCX file (if you modify something incorrectly, it will not re-import), and then I cannot upload the completed file and mark it as complete because then I have to manually mark every edited line as complete. And while marking these lines as complete, I have to wait 10-30 seconds every 50 lines while Memsource works to catch up with me marking lines as complete. Google Sheets is free, has more utilities, and is more user-friendly to navigate and operate. ----- Page: 1 / 12\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/151871/Phrase?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/151871/Phrase) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pl | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | tr | | ----- ## Structured Data
