Canaan Morse Member Mother tongue: English Posts: 16 Joined: May 22, 2006 Location: United States	macintosh-compatible translation software I am a PC user currently in the process of buying a MacBook Pro. I do not have TRADOS for the PC laptop I'm using now (because I can't afford it yet; I still have five months of school here in Beijing before I can enter the professional world), and did not realize until too late that TRADOS itself could only be run through Parallels or Boot Camp if one wishes to run it on a Mac. TRADOS is expensive enough by itself, but there seems to me to be no alternative to it in terms of reliable translation software. Is there anyone here who uses/likes Wordfast, or any other Mac-compatible translation software? Speaking more generally, the overall quality of today's Macintosh computers has me convinced that it would be a smart purchase overall; I'm simply a little afraid that it could become a huge pain in the neck for translation work. Are there any Mac users out there with the answer?

Canaan Morse Member Mother tongue: English Posts: 16 Joined: May 22, 2006 Location: United States	RE: macintosh-compatible translation software Thanks, Laurent. I'll download OmegaT and give it a try as soon as I have the chance. Funny. I DID spend time looking for other mac-related threads before I posted, and didn't find that one. Strange.

Alexander Razinkov New User Mother tongues: Ukrainian, Russian Posts: 2 Joined: September 1, 2007 Location: Ukraine (removed)	RE: macintosh-compatible translation software Hello, I would suggest using OmegaT. First, it is free, second, it supports MS Office .doc .xls .ppt documents, .html, OpenOffice .odt, ods and other OpenOffice documents. Second, it supports Trados .tmx translation memory formats and saves translation memory as .tmx. Third, if your client wants a Wordfast TM, Omegat's .tmx is supported by Wordfast. Regards, Alexander
