A universal & open translation tool

Wordfast is a Translation Memory engine available for Microsoft Word on PC and Mac.

Wordfast offers a transparent, open format for all its data, but maintains compatibility with Trados and most CAT tools. Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access files but also a wide array of tagged documents can be translated. Wordfast connects to MT packages like PowerTranslator™, Systran™, Reverso™ etc. Powerful terminology features are available.

Although Wordfast is essentially a translator’s tool, it easily integrates in the workflow of translation agencies & large accounts. All this power is packed in a single, compact Word™ template; data can be shared over a LAN or over the web.

Trial mode: (there is no specific trial version to download) Wordfast works for free (without license) with translation memories up to 110 Kbytes, and/or 500 TU (translation units). In other words, Wordfast can be used for short to medium jobs, for free, with all features activated (compare to Trados’ demo mode limited to short TMs of 100 TUs). Buying a license removes this limitation and allows you to use Wordfast on jobs of any size.

Wordfast downloads in 2 minutes at 56Kbps (file size: 590 Kb). Do not forget to download a manual too!
