Dear all,
This question has been asked before but just to be sure: Does CafeTran work nicely with Trados projects? It does with Star Transit but I'm not sure how to handle Trados projects.
Any comments / links to instructions?
Thanks a lot for your answer!

Just open the Trados package. That’s all. Easy as pie.

Trados May 9

Interesting. Is the return package format the exact same? Or is it clear for the receiver that another CAT tool has been used?

I plan to buy a new computer this year and to upgrade Trados, but I like to keep my options open.

No receiver ever asked if I had used another CAT tool.

It's compatible, so YES May 9

Hi Irene,
I've been using CafeTran for quite a long time and used it for projects native Trados and MemoQ and had no problems as CafeTran is fully compatible. I've tested it and I can confirm I had no problems with the vendors.
Hope this may be of help. 😊

Thanks to all of you!
Just one more question. Translating Transit texts with CafeTran is no problem at all, the only drawback being that preview doesn't work. So I have to upload my the translated file on Transit (web portal) from where I can download my translation again and get a preview. That's ok but it would be nicer if there was a direct preview option in CafeTran that works with Transit as well.
How is it with Trados projects? Does preview work?

Inline character formatting only. For me that’s enough. I always have the source document as a pdf. So I know what and where I am translating.
