The length of my experience with these programs varies from four weeks to three years, but basically I have always had to start NOW on a job using a program I had never seen before. Maybe I'm denser than average, or maybe I really lacked time to explore the program and get familiar with it. The same applies to a feature that would have enabled me to use one translation to complete other files. This was obviously the client's job. Controls are easy, although you may regularly forget to activate the segment you want to change.
Controls are very easy, and the few keystrokes required are quickly mastered .
The matching function is quite efficient, with a good hit rate for fuzzy matches. I haven't tested the new version yet, but they say it allows you to compare various versions of one sentence if it has been translated in different ways, and provides better edition of translation memory files. This is a program I would also recommend to someone interested in buying one, provided the filtering functions with word processing software are easy to handle. It is hardly a joke, because a lot of work can be done using about 12 key combinations. The dictionary is also easy to update, and an unlimited number of entries can be added and, with a little juggling in the File Manager, used for later work.
