Home » Compare Comparing MadCap Lingo and Trados Studio 2022 Which software is better? Here is a rundown of features and reviews to help you make your decision. | |  |  | | Name | MadCap Lingo | Trados Studio 2022 | | Review breakdown | | | | Most helpful review | Great tool, would recommend to all my colleagues, must have for Flare translation Lingo is a must have tool for the proper translation of MadCap Flare resources. Lingo packages content from any of the programs in the MadPak Suite into a Lingo project which can be exported into XLIFF files so you can translate the files in the CAT tool of your choice. Then you simply import the XLIFF back into Lingo and you can export back to Flare.
Lingo makes the process go very smoothly. Updates and project alignment are also handled very efficiently. 1 out of 1 found this review helpful.
Read more reviews → | OK tool, quite easy to learn, but buggy and stuck in the past We have been deploying Trados for more than 10 years now.
The 2022 version of Trados is something to be considered when acquiring a new CAT-tool, but upgrading from earlier versions does not really add huge value (but a huge cost) unless cloud services for storage/project handling as well as machine translation are desired.
Trados is relatively easy to learn/handle, but at the same time stuck in the past.
Be aware of the following:
The 2022 version is (as of November 2022) buggy. Editing the Windows registry might be required to get things working properly, switching between projects is buggy.
Trados is having difficulties with UNC and requires mapped drives.
Licensning is "outdated" and not user friendly in times of home-office and remote work, i.e. can't use remote desktop unless when deploying a network license which again requires a local (separate computer acting as) server for license management (no cloud license)
When editing/translating the find/replace function comes short to MemoQ.
Editing/maintaining TMs needs improvment.
