Wordfast Pro is a Java-based translation and editing application designed to improve the way in which translators work. It presents translators with a collaborative environment where translation memory (TM) files can be accessed quickly and efficiently. Wordfast Pro is a flexible application that can work with desktop TM files or interact directly with a powerful TM server application. It can also operate as a stand-alone tool to supplement existing translation workflows.
The key advantages of Wordfast Pro are as follows:
TM compatibility: Tabular TM format allows for simple integration of Trados, SDLX or Déjà Vu TM files.
Format flexibility: Native format is TXML, an XML-based pivot format. Filters exist for DOC, PPT, XLS, PDF, HTML, MIF, INX, JSP, RC and TTX files. Wordfast Pro supports only those TTX files that are translated and segmented using tag editor.
Collaborative environment: Users can interact with TM Server and share translation memory assets in real-time.
Automated editing: Multi-lingual spell checkers and terminology recognition improves the speed and accuracy in the review process.
Administrative security: Managers can assign specific rights and privileges to individual translators or linguistic teams.
Wordfast Pro provides an intuitive, collaborative environment where translators can deliver higher quality in-language content with greater consistency and efficiency.
