Freelance French to English Translator Translation and Localization ### "I love Wordfast Pro and Wordfast Anywhere" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 February 1, 2025 Absolutely wonderful. I did not find an entry for Wordfast Anywhere, but that used to be my favorite CAT tool a long time ago. Pros I really love Wordfast Pro as well as Wordfast Anywhere. I used it often in the past and am interested in using it again. I have been a translator for 24 years and I think that Wordfast in general is infinitely more user friendly than Trados. There is virtually no support for an out-of-date Trados product (in my case 2017) that supposedly never expires. Not the case with Wordfast. It is also user friendly. I love using it for projects especially for which I create the TM but also if there is a TM. Reminds me of the olden days of translation. It seems uncluttered. I also love their support. When Trados states that the license never expires, that is very misleading. I was able to contact Wordfast for support ten years since the purchase of my last upgrade without jumping through a bunch of hoops and community forums, unlike Trados. Sorry if my post is confusing, but I also like the Wordfast Anywhere option. It is like a mini-Wordfast. No such option that I know of exists with Trados, if one cannot afford to upgrade at the moment. Cons There is nothing I dislike. Many agencies require use of Trados, so that is the only reason I can think of to ever purchase Trados all over again. Switched from [Trados Studio](https://www.capterra.com/p/151746/Trados-Studio/) Trados is way too complicated for me and a lifetime Trados license is really not a lifetime license. It goes unsupported to the point where I cannot even ask a technical question or ask for help without going to a community forum first. Therefore, I would not risk a project using my Trados 2017 version. I understand the Windows 11 incompatibility, but I was saddened. Wordfast seems more user friendly. It took ten seconds for me to submit a question online. It was mainly the jumping through hoops to reach Trados technical support that bothered me immensely. I could kind of understand the outdated-ness aspect. However, I felt very cast aside with Trados.

Owner Translation and Localization ### "Simple tool, quite expensive for what it offers" 2.0 Overall Rating 2.0 2.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 1.0 1.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 0/10 January 23, 2025 I need it because one of my biggest clients uses Wordfast, but the efficiency and performance compared to memoQ is very low. Pros The speed is good,but that's about everything I can think of. Cons It's a simple and limited tool: the features are very limited (certainly if compared to memoQ), hardly any compatibility. Repetitions are not properly processed and need double handling. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

Translator Translation and Localization ### "A somewhat simpler CAT tool that works well" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 November 27, 2023 Very happy with WFP. As I said, I'm not very technological, so was delighted to find a CAT tool I could learn to use without great difficulty Pros I am IT-challenged, but managed to learn how to use WFP without having to take a course, so that's definitely a plus Cons I am aware that I am not using it to its full potential. I think it's easy to get to know the basics, not so easy to really master it Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort.

Pros It really helped me speed up my initial work. I used it on a project of 80k+ words and did it in less time than usual. Cons Although it is a good tool, I found cheaper and better competitor tools. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site. All submitted reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor May 11, 2023 Dear Samuel, Thank you for your review. Could you please share which competitor tools you are referring to? Comparing pricing is challenging. Our last analysis of our main competitors revealed that the cost of a comparable, fully-updated tool with tech support for 9 years would cost the following: Wordfast: $960 ($107/yr) MemoQ: $2,002 ($222/yr) Trados: $3,315 ($368/yr) Furthermore, Wordfast Pro includes multilingual project creation and package support.

Translator Translation and Localization ### "My main platform" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 June 15, 2022 Wordfast Pro is my main CAT app which Have been literally using on a daily basis. It is the only one that natively runs on a Mac and that's the reason that I initially invested in it. App is compatible with Trados and most (if not all) file formats which are used in the translation industry. I have a ton of projects, all my TM and term bases and Wordfast manages all of that for me. Pros Wordfast Pro has amazing customer service. They literally respond with ready-to-implement solutions within minutes. It works with all file types. Cons The user interface (As fast as colours are concerned) feels somewhat antiquated. Some options which apply to a file within a project are available from the project perspective only. Some other options (for example to export Trados return package) are available only upon the closure of a project which feels somewhat strange as all the other options are available from the main project window). The app offers a plethora of options (even local OCR) and I feel that new functions have been continuously added over time and that's why sometimes their location feels illogical. Switched from [Phrase Localization Platform](https://www.capterra.com/p/276186/Phrase/) I wanted to use a local platform without having to operate the app through a web browser.

AU Anonymous User Freelance Translator Translation and Localization ### "Can't forget your first love" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 3.0 3.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 April 15, 2022 Wordfast is the first CAT Tool I learned to use when I was a student. At the time I didn't even know there were so many similar tools out there, hence my complete fascination with it, as it allowed me to translate faster and more consistently. I then discovered other tools, which translation agencies seem to prefer, but Wordfast remains my first love! Pros It's quick and easy to use, with a simple user interface. It can handle virtually any format and works on Mac as well. It is also very affordable in comparison to other tools, which is a big plus. Cons No cons to me, except for the fact that my clients tend to prefer a different CAT Tool, so in the end I decided to switch to it. Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor April 19, 2022 Thanks for your review! If you decide to use Wordfast again, remember that you simply have to renew your license instead of buying a new one. GC Guillaume C. Consultant Information Technology and Services ### "Flexible and reliable" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 7/10 March 31, 2021 You can easily get up and running with this tool. It's easier (and cheaper) than the other ones I've tried. It's very powerful, smart and "all-terrain". However pay attention on the location where you store your TM and glossaries, and backup regularly. Pros I love the fact it can read, translate and export lots of different formats. xilf of sure, it's basic. But also Word, Powerpoint, Excel. That's a huge time saver when the source is not in a CAT tool format. Cons All CaT tools are hard to set up and hard to maintain over time. Wordfast is as difficult as the other ones. Make sure you store your TMs where they won't be erased by a windows or iOs update... That should be by default IMHO or Cloud solution should be by default. Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor April 5, 2021 Thanks for your review Guillaume! We actually advise against storing your TMs and glossaries on the cloud. Constant synchronization slows your computer and your databases can get corrupted if they are opened on two different computers at the same time. Saving them to your hard drive and backing them up monthly to an external drive should be sufficient. AF Anna F. Translator Translation and Localization ### "Licensing NEVER works as promised" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 1.0 1.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 1.0 1.0 Likelihood to Recommend 0/10 February 16, 2021 How can they promise that a license will work in the next 2 hours and then they just do nothing? Last time they said it was "technical issues with their licensing server", I wonder what it will be this time. Not much "pro" in Wordfast Pro. Pros When it works, it works. All the basic functions of Trados but much easier to use and better price. I have worked with Wordfast products for 12 years now. Cons This is the 3rd time I have an issue with the license renewal. Last time I lost a half day of work, this time I might actually miss a deadline and potentially lose a client. After paying for the license renewal, I received an email that the license would be activated within 2 hours. Now several hours have passed and nothing happened. No reply from Customer support and m day in the office is almost over. This is extremely frustrating. I should have known better this time, it\`s disappointing how unreliable this company is.

Pros This has got to be the most affordable cat tool i have ever used. Besides price, it has all the major features that the most expensive tools have. I love their 'big 50% discount' for freelance translator living and working in a developing economy! This a tool that truly caters for translator and do care about their not-so-deep-pockets. Cons They have too many products 5, this can be confusing especially for beginners. The renewal part is also a let down, after 3 years you must renew a license on an item you bought legally! Their trial version has some features which you cannot use meaning its not fully unlocked. Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Response from Vendor November 10, 2020 Thank you for your review, Joseph. All of our licenses have three-year terms and include all upgrades and tech support. Upon renewal, you get a 50% discount, in addition to the 50% discount for developing economies. That comes out to roughly $38 per year after the initial three-year period.
