Hi everyone,
I had the misfortune of doing a job recently in Lilt's online CAT tool. My god, what a mess.
• The QA at the end was pure hell.
• The editor UI is total crap
• Their MT was possibly the worst quality MT I have ever seen.
• And I have been trying to contact someone from the company since yesterday, but no one answers any of my emails.
Pretty terrible for a company with such snazzy marketing and website.

TOPIC STARTER
Let's envision a bustling, multi-layered scene in a grand, exaggerated museum dedicated to the history of communication. This museum is filled with anachronistic and futuristic exhibits, each illustrating different eras and methods of communication, from ancient hieroglyphs to futuristic telepathy helmets. The central exhibit is a giant, ornate radio set, towering over everything else, with intricate designs and dials that look like they require an expert to operate. Around the radio, a diverse crowd of cartoon characters from different time periods and cultures, including a bewildered time traveler, an amused scientist with a jetpack, and a perplexed alien visitor, are all trying to make sense of this contraption. In one corner, a group of inventors from various eras are animatedly discussing (through speech bubbles in their respective languages and symbols) how to break the radio silence, with blueprints and gadgets strewn around. In another corner, a team of medieval minstrels is ready to play their instruments, looking at the radio expectantly. Hanging above all this chaos, in a dramatic and flamboyant font, are the words "RADIO SILENCE," glowing as if they were part of a neon sign. This scene combines historical and fantastical elements to humorously exaggerate the confusion and complexity around the concept of radio silence.

I'll try these as well. Very odd, still no answer at all.

I have been trying to contact someone at Lilt since Thursday. It's now Sunday and I still haven't heard from a single human.

How come we’re allowed to slag off CAT providers on here but not translation agencies?

You're probably right. This thread will most likely be deleted soon. Or perhaps not. Perhaps I have found a loophole, since Lilt is a CAT tool provider and translation agency...
