CAT tools have flaws, with which they do not fit for VIP projects. Don't use CAT tools for VIP customers (it is dangerous) and only use it for average clients. For very important projects, pour directly your translation into Microsoft Word without any CAT tool.

I am sorry, but your survey is very deficient Feb 7, 2016

none of the above Feb 8, 2016

Basically, I could only answer the questions for fields that I never translate in, like finance, and technical, where I use the CAT tool required by the agency. And technical is the field in which I translate the least, and only in betw... See more

Basically, I could only answer the questions for fields that I never translate in, like finance, and technical, where I use the CAT tool required by the agency. And technical is the field in which I translate the least, and only in between more lucrative/interesting stuff.

So I don't think your data is going to be particularly useful.

And please, I know English spelling is ridiculous but using a spell-check is simplicity itself. ▲ Collapse
