Could be faster and become more intuitive

IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
I use the tool to assist me translating texts containing full or partial matches to what's in the tool's Translation Memory. The texts are related to luxury products and can be either technical or general. The idea is to check if a section/sections of the text have been translated before and, if that's the case, repeating it in the content you're translating for consistency purposes. It's also very handy to create a glossary and refer to it quickly while you're working.
Pros
- The glossary is good to work with
Cons
- Slow, bugs and errors aren't uncommon, logs you out suddenly, sometimes doesn't save what you've worked on even if you commit/save strings
- No shortcut-available, you have to mouse-click a lot, makes work less intuitive
- Confusing interface
- Not sure if it's the tasks' setup once they're sent to linguists, but sometimes almost exact matches don't show up automatically. You have to search bits of a sentence to hopefully find an exact match that had been translated before, but for some reason didn't show as a suggestion. That takes up a huge amount of time.
Likelihood to Recommend
It's effective for translating technical content, but there are faster, more intuitive, and visually cleaner tools that are out there. It's a bit clunky and requires too many different steps for different things in my opinion.
