| Most helpful review | Huge time saver Wordfast Pro 5 is a standalone CAT tool that is compatible in my experience with Word, Powerpoint, InDesign and most other office software programs.
I work on a mac system and it is perfectly compatible.
I also need to use Trados for one client, but consistently use Wordfast Pro 5 for all others because of how easy and practical it is.
Highly recommended! And a training session to get you started is also highly recommended, to get the most out of it. 5 out of 5 found this review helpful.
Read more reviews → | Excellent online tool with a good team I am using this tool since 2009 on a daily basis. The big advantage is that you are working in real time with your client or the project manager. The tool is free to use for the translator. It is also very intuitive and I have never lost data. The tags are extremely easy to implement. You can also use the tool offline, of course. I highly recommend it for building a long term relationship (yes!) with a client. Once the system is running, it is a breeze to use.

Years of working with translation led us to design Text United: a proven, industry-standard suite of tools for professionals and beginners. Today, in response to a growing demand, we’re taking translation to another level and introducing the first-ever translation process that brings your business directly to international customers.
We have built a first-of-its-kind translation platform, equipped with every tool a translator and his client may need, without the hassle of complex, agency-based workflows.
Our customers invite each other to the platform, take advantage of free services and have a strong sense of control over the translation of their content.
We take businesses abroad through a different approach to translation. Text United is powered by a cloud-based translation memory technology, which prevents translators from translating a sentence twice, gets workflows out of the way and focuses on what really matters: quality, controlled, international content. |
