One of its main attributes is the extensive platform compatibility: it supports Mac OS and Linux as well as theВ Windows.

Wordfast Pro: the professional, full-featured CAT tool, flagship of the Wordfast family.

Wordfast Server: an enterprise Translation Memory server compatible with the other 3 Wordfast applications.

For readers more familiar with Trados, this is the equivalentВ to using Workbench in Word instead of translating in TagEditor.

Wordfast Classic:В a well-established, Microsoft Word-based translation tool.

It is available free-of-charge for translators.

Wordfast Anywhere: a web-based CAT tools with Translation Memory, Glossary and Machine Translation functionality.

There are 4 separate versionsВ in the Wordfast offering: However Wordfast which is also in the Top 3 of our own never-ending Poll in the right sidebar, was never yet covered on Localization, Localisation. We have talked about Trados many times in these pages, and have covered memoQ on several occasions as well. The third andВ last point I took away from reading the В post was that Wordfast and memoQ are the most common CAT tools after Trados.

Finally in some cases they are forced by business requirementsВ to the technology of the LSP they are affiliated to.

They also quite commonly downloadВ packages from Translation Management Systems, and are tied into the CAT tools supported by the workflow.

When they donвЂ™t start from the raw source documents, they have a more limited choice in the translation technology.

Translators usually work with handoffs or translation kitsВ which have been prepared for them by their clients.

It seems fair to conclude already that translators often use the CAT tool they have to, rather than the CAT tool they choose to. The second point was the real deciding factor in the choice ofВ CAT tool: the main driver, listed by overВ 45% of respondents was customer requirements, with market research second at about 36%. memoQ seems even more popular withВ substantially more people citing it as their favouriteВ than actually use it as their primary tool. Compared to this Wordfast, second in line in this survey,В showed the same proportion of primary users and supporters. It was based on aВ survey they ran within their community and which received over 3,000 responses.ДЄpart from the perennialВ dominance of Trados which about 75%В use in some shape or form,В 3 facts caught my attention.ДЇirst, the translatorsвЂ™ preference: while 43% said Trados is the CAT tool they use the most, only 36% cited it as their favourite tool. The translators network recently published an article about the use of CAT tools in the industry.
