My main translation tool - everything you need in one package
I have tried quite a few tools, but I invariably return back to Dejavu. It's a complete package with most everything you need to get up to speed when translating. For a serious translator the DVX3 Pro would be the recommended version. - When you type, AutoWrite is trying to guess for the Terminology Database what you want to write, which improves speed. - In DVX3 you can choose if you want source and target side by side (standard), or source above target. Source above target makes it much easier to see where you are in the translation. - Spell checker on the fly. You can right click on the words that have a wiggly line below, and change the spelling then and there. - I fin that numbered tags makes it easier to see if they are placed correctly in target, instead of named like in some other tools. - All languages are available when you want to create a project, instead of being limited. - It's easy to switch between project view (all documents in one view) and document view. - Live Preview is available for major document types (Office documents). - Formating (bold, italics etc.) is shown. - It is easy get going with Dejavu even if you are new to it.. Also Atril has put out quite a few Youtube videos to help you if you need more instructions. - Minor updates are free. - And not least: If you need help, there is a discussion group where the users help each other with advice.

OK tool, quite easy to learn, but buggy and stuck in the past
We have been deploying Trados for more than 10 years now. The 2022 version of Trados is something to be considered when acquiring a new CAT-tool, but upgrading from earlier versions does not really add huge value (but a huge cost) unless cloud services for storage/project handling as well as machine translation are desired. Trados is relatively easy to learn/handle, but at the same time stuck in the past. Be aware of the following: The 2022 version is (as of November 2022) buggy. Editing the Windows registry might be required to get things working properly, switching between projects is buggy. Trados is having difficulties with UNC and requires mapped drives. Licensning is "outdated" and not user friendly in times of home-office and remote work, i.e. can't use remote desktop unless when deploying a network license which again requires a local (separate computer acting as) server for license management (no cloud license) When editing/translating the find/replace function comes short to MemoQ. Editing/maintaining TMs needs improvment.
