What is the best translation software?

Translation software has become more and more accessible with the advent of cloud-based platforms that are reasonably priced. These programs offer fast, accurate translations that can be done without downloading or installing any additional software on your PC.

There are several translation software providers on the market today who compete for your business. Some of these companies are well-known brands, while others are start-ups. Either way, there is no reason why you should settle for less when it comes to quality translation.

Also, the choice of a service depends on your specific needs. You can use free machine translation tools such as DeepL and other machine translation engines if you need just basic translation.

Machine translation, or MT for short, can seem like an easy solution. However, machine translation fails when the source language has idioms that the algorithm cannot transcreate into the target language. So, we can say that MT is not a good fit if your texts contain a lot of puns and references that might be lost in translation.

If you want to do translation in the best way for your website or mobile app, or even if you want to do it via APIs, you need to consider a TMS platform, possibly with integrated CAT tools. To help you make the best decision, here is a comparison of some popular translation software platforms and CAT tools on the market.
