This won't be an issue for a lot of translators, but for those who deal with challenging, often unexpected formatting issues in customers' files it could be a real pain in the neck. There seems to be no option to cascade filters, useful for example if you have a Microsoft Excel file containing HTML text to translate, and there is also no facility for configuring custom regex-based text filters or tagging text content which needs protection (such as placeholder text).

The choice of import filters available is fairly good as one might expect from most professional translation environments these days, but two important things were missing for me. I had to change the source text file from ANSI to UTF-8: not a big deal for me, but a lot of translators I know will be over their heads right there. The import with the simple text filter of Wordfast Pro 5 (version 5.7) does not map the characters correctly. I was pleased to see that different sets of keyboard shortcuts were available to make the ergonomics easier for users of some other tools. It was really easy to navigate through the ribbon menus and explore the configuration options. Something like that in other tools would be very helpful to their users and probably encourage more suggestions and interaction. I noticed that the feedback dialog also had options to include files and projects in case of a problem, which I also thought was really cool. I don't know why, but this inspired a weird enthusiasm in me, so I clicked it, and when the dialog appeared, I wrote a quick note to the development team to say what a great impression the new user interface was making before I had even started to do anything useful with it. On the Help ribbon I saw a Feedback icon. Given the limited scope of mastery and inclination to learn on the part of many hamsters running on the freelance translation wheel, this can be a definite advantage. Not in Wordfast Pro 5: the features mostly aren't there, and what is there can be found without much ado. There's a lot more functionality in SDL Trados Studio or memoQ, but all the myriad features of those environments can be intimidating to some, and even for experienced users navigation can be confusing at times to locate some obscure setting or feature. I was really enthusiastic about the clean, uncluttered feel of the interface.

Fortunately, there is a fully functional 30-day trial available, and it took all of about two minutes to fill out the simple request form, receive the mail with the trial license key and activate it in Wordfast Pro 5. If you want to share resources, play it safe and stick them in Wordfast Anywhere.Īt first, the program is in demo mode, which limits translation memories to 500 translation units (TUs) and does not allow access to remote resources such as Wordfast Anywhere. *Translations.I've seen a number of people come to grief with other tools when their projects, translation memories or other resources are stored in Dropbox or similar configurations so they can be shared by installations on different computers, and I appreciate Wordfast's attempt to warn people off from this dodgy practice.
