Luis Medina . Lilt is one of the best CAT tools I've ever used. Over my 10 years as a full-time translator, I've used several CAT tools, and I continue to use Lilt ever since it was launched.
I like it for the speed at which I can complete the translation of a file. With Lilt I've been able to reach over 1000 words of translation per hour. Their tag management feature has improved greatly over the years and it's become easier to manipulate tags. The machine translation engine really learns your translation style, and although the suggestions are not always perfect (which MT engine is always perfect?), it usually handles well sentences that are not too long or which do not have subordinate sentences.
What do you do with longer sentences? Lilt supports dictation software, like Dragon Naturally Speaking, which is of great help once you realize you can combine MT and dictation to complete a sentence in seconds.
Although Lilt also offers a QA system that you can use and works well, you can also download the file from Lilt and feed it to different quality assurance tool like Xbench or Verifika.
I am a member of the Lilt Translator Community and I cannot end this review without mentioning that the company is the fastest paying client I have.
Lilt is an innovative company with a technologically advanced translation tool that has helped me work faster and better in the past few years. Is the tool perfect in every way? No, no translation tool is perfect, but the support team is always there to look into issues that may affect your work with the tool.

One of the Best
Review by
Yusuf Yavuzkan . It is no doubt that all of the translation software tools serve the same goal: to assist in and speed up the translation process. But there are different types of software out there to suit different circumstances and needs. For example, translation software tools can be downloadable desktop programs you install on your computer or cloud-based solutions you work on online, which is a highly trending approach now. Of course, no software cannot be perfect and error-free, so we need updates. It means no worry for any improvement on the cloud-based systems. Also they can be paid or free. Some give opportunity for translators, reviewers and project managers to easily collaborate with others within the system. This is particularly useful if you need to translate multiple files in different language pairs with different team members. As a free, cloud-based, flexible and team-friendly CAT tool, LILT is the one of the best in the market.

Easy to use and tech support is extremely efficient
Review by
Fatine Echenique . I have been using Lilt's platform for a couple of years now and besides for the usual glitches here and there, I honestly love it!
All PM are extremely responsive and all issues are handled in a timely manner from my experience.
I am definitely not a fan of Payoneer but getting paid every Friday is ...Priceless :)

Interesting approach, some rough edges
Review by
german_gametran . Lilt is very easy to learn and quite responsive. The MT suggestions are fine for individual terms and phrases, but they sometimes struggle when it comes to grammar.
Biggest minus: lack of a spell checker
Biggest plus: company asks for feedback from users to improve program

Great tool, easy to work with
Review by
Erika Gunnarsdóttir . I have been working for Lilt since May 2018, so I have been so fortunate to witness the development of the platform and the tool.
Overall, Lilt is a very easy tool to use, and as soon as you get the hang of hotkeys, everything just goes faster.
I have never experienced a tool where I consistently have been able to produce high-quality translations and revisions with little to no effort - no having to look around for weird formats or the like.
Integrated into the tool is a basic TM, which becomes increasingly smarter as you go. There is also a Lexicon.
The steps taken by the Lilt-team to make the tool efficient and easy to use is a huge advantage for the translators and proofreaders, and I cannot recommend Lilt enough.
