Good morning everyone!

I am doing research on which CAT-Tool would help my team increase our productivity when translating. I would like to hear some opinions on the following tools, especially their downsides (if possible based on your experience). Specifically, I would like to know more about Across and its cons.

Hello Guiomar,

Do you have any particular reason to limit your list to the CAT tools mentioned above?

When talking about increasing your productivity as a team, CafeTran Espresso 10 offers a very good solution.

Could you elaborate a little bit and compare with other tools? Many people work with Across, especially in the German speaking world. It would be interesting to learn more from you.

Kind regards

Have you asked your team members? Maybe they already know some CAT tools and/or have their own preferences.
After all, they're the ones on the front line, so they should have weapons that don't jam.

Don't underestimate training. I've noticed that productivity is boosted above all when you know your working tools inside out!

On a personal level, MemoQ 2013 is my best friend, I can't get my head around Trados 2019 and I never managed to install Across after an agency assigned me an Across project.

Philippe
