How do you like the new TranslationZone.com & SDL AppStore design?

Hi community!

Not too long ago we launched a redesigned version of our translationzone.com site. The new design brings a more modern and fresh look and is the result of customer research conducted over the last year. It also features a totally redesigned SDL AppStore, the new home for all Translation Productivity Apps as well as our developer hub. The SDL AppStore replaces the previous SDL OpenExchange site.

  

So now we are pretty curious in the UX design team, what do you think about it? you like it?

We would love to get a quick rating from you below as well would love to hear your feedback or suggestions!

Thanks a lot from the SDL UX Team!

  • Hi Philipp,

    I like the new design and the look & feel!
    Regarding the SDL AppStore I cannot find how to search based on the apps categories (such as terminology, translation memory, file filters, etc.). If I remember well, I've seen those categories in the the AppStore earlier, but I can't find them now. They should be in the Category bar on the left, but currently I can only see this:

    Category
    Language
    Pricing
    Free
    Paid
    Product
    SDL Trados Studio
    SDL MultiTerm
    SDL Passolo
    SDL Language Cloud
    SDL Studio GroupShare

    Kind regards,
    Marco
  • Hi Marco,

    Thanks for the feedback. You're right, they were there before. They are still here but there is now an additional level because the store has been designed for other areas of the business. So far we only have apps in here for "Language" so it does look a little odd. But if you click on that you will see the other filters.

    Regards

  • Thanks Paul!

    Yes, I can see them now after clicking on Language. From a translator's point of view, I think they shouild be presented in the default view, without the need to click on Language. Also, if we had to click on Category instead, it would be more intuitive (the user would click to view the available categories), but clicking on Language is really counter-intuitive, I'm afraid. In fact, I couldn't figure out how to show the categories.

    Kind regards,

    Marco

  • Hi Marco,

    I agree with you and actually had the same problem at first. I thought Language had something to do with the language it was written in despite the fact every website I ever use has that language option at the top! I guess if more options were there in addition to Language then it would make more sense, but this is perhaps a good example of where we use terminology that makes sense to some of us in SDL, but not anyone else ;-)
