A Comparative Evaluation of Localisation Tools : Reverso Localize and SYSTANLinks

This thesis compares and analyses two free, online tools, called Reverso Localize and SYSTRANLinks, which have both machine translation and website localisation capabilities. The aim of this work was to subjectively evaluate the performance of the tools, as well as execute an end-user satisfaction evaluation. In order to do so, an evaluation centering around three EAGLES characteristics (functionality, usability, and efficiency) was designed. From the results it was possible to create recommendations for both tools in order to improve their systems as well as their end-user satisfaction scores, and to state which one more effectively localised and translated the text website provided.
