| Most helpful review | Great new features with each new build Just in a few words, it is different. CafeTran's developer is not only a programmer but he is a translator as well, that is why he adds all those unique features helping translators. One pays EUR 225 only to upgrade from SDL Trados Studio 2009 Freelance to 2011 version but you can buy CafeTran at only EUR 80. Amazing! Just read the features at http://cafetran.wikidot.com/ 33 out of 37 found this review helpful.
Read more reviews → | Easy to learn None of the CAT tools are excellent but some of them are very good, DVX2 is one of them. Easy to install, easy to create a project, translation memory or termbase. Most functions are intuitive, possibly one can start translation right after installing it without reading the pdf help file even partially.21 out of 22 found this review helpful.
