Now, and during the Covid-19 pandemic, CafeTran is available in its unlimited version to all ProZ.com paying members, regardless of membership level.
Many thanks go out to Igor at CafeTran for agreeing to make this benefit available to all members. The ProZ.com site team hopes that access to this program will be of use to those who are looking for a CAT tool now.
If you are just getting into translation, or find yourself looking for a new CAT tool at the moment, you may want to consider CafeTran.
CafeTran is an industrial-strength CAT tool that allows you to work with some of the most popular file formats (for example, if your client uses Trados files, you can probably use CafeTran for that work). Until now, an unlimited, floating license to CafeTran has been included in ProZ.com Plus membership subscriptions.
