Transit comes in various versions. The Satellite version is free of charge, and can be downloaded at http://www.star-group.net/star-www/software/transit/star-group/eng/transit_transit-satellite-pe.html (Transit 3.0 Satellite PE – installation build 267). It has quite limited functionality, but if the agency prepares the project and supplies the reference material and the dictionary, you can work with it without problems. Discuss with the agency whether they thought of this version. It is quite likely; most agencies use Transit in this way. If you need to buy a higher version, you will need to shell out at least 500 euros (Smart version). Strangely, prices are not published, so this price may not be accurate. The professional version is well above EUR 1000. There are a lot of translators who love Transit, others dislike it as it has a quite different approach than Trados. You will need to invest a bit of time into learning its usage, but the learning curve is perfectly reasonable in my experience. Personally, I have a very high opinion of Transit; its dictionary module beats all other CAT tools hands down. If you can work with the free version, you should give it a try.
