Hi guys,
I've been trying to reach SmartCat#s support since two days no, to no avail. They used to answer within 24 hours a few years ago, but now nothing. The chat is only a bot, always, and emaisl sent to them are not answered. This is such a crappy service I cannot believe it. And it is since quite a while. Constant issues with their software and no solutions ever.

Trados is still too costly for me at this moment, so I have to work with alternatives, but it is frustrating.... See more

Smartcat support Mar 12, 2021

From my experience, they respond with 1 to 5 days. Did you contact them by email [email protected]?

Hi Stepan, yes, of course, I used that email, but what good is a support if it takes 1-5 (!!!) days to answer? Issues have to be solved asap, it is all about deadlines and clients and money in the end. And their support has become worse and worse.

I agree with you Mar 12, 2021

However, you should keep in mind that Smartcat is a free tool. You want a good thing for free. I appreciate your point, but there is a strong relation between good and costly or free and crappy.
By the way, what was your question? For example, at SDL Community portal, there is a question of how to use memoQ to work with Trados files. It's been several hours with 0 replies. I doubt if SDL experts are going to reply this sort of question at all. Isn't it obvious? They apply a lot of effort ... See more

Hence their reluctance to reply. Maybe Smartcat Support consider your issue a secondary priority. What is your question? ▲ Collapse
