User friendly and good value for money.
Been using Wordfast Classic for Word source texts since 2009. Has become an 'old friend'. Easy to use. I don't use full functionality, due to my limitations! Represents good value for money, compared with SDL Trados.

Great tool. Very comfort and helpful
I used this tool above year and be cool with it. Program is constant in progress and getting better. I'm using it for freelance translation and can tell that this tool easy in use and have a lot of free helpful option. Machine translation is paid, but not expansive. Quality of this translation is not excellent, but, hey, where did you see great machine translation? It's just a help instrument, and it's more better Google translate(for example). I really recommend SmartCat. Just try!
