Wordfast
A favorite among freelance translators, big corporations and even government agencies, Wordfast is the world's #1 provider of platform-independent translation memory software. Wordfast's user-friendly interface allows for easy translation, localization, and translation memory management. Wordfast Classic is specifically for those who work with Microsoft Word, and Wordfast Professional is for the more advanced users who seek a full suite of localization tools. It is compatible with other CAT tools like Trados. As an added bonus, you can try the full-featured demo version for free (for translation memories of up to 500 translation units) before deciding to purchase the license. It is a must try for all translators.

User/Critic Reviews
- "...if you need to use a CAT tool for your translation jobs, you may start with Wordfast which one can download for free from the Wordfast website. And it works very well for small jobs. It is simple to use and very easy to learn." - C.M. Rawal from TranslatorsCafe Forum
- "Wordfast is probably one of the best translation tools on the market...not a mere clone for Trados, and frankly, it is a much better tool." - Translation Solutions LTD
- "It leads you as a good friend through your translation job showing you the sentence you should translate at the very moment and making proposals for a translation if you wish so." - Multiply
