Home » Compare Comparing Kaplan Desktop and Fluency Translation Suite 2013 Which software is better? Here is a rundown of features and reviews to help you make your decision. | |  |  | | Name | Kaplan Desktop | Fluency Translation Suite 2013 | | Review breakdown | | | | Most helpful review | | Highly Recommended First CAT, (or second... or third), Excellent Tool By Jason Holt (X) I have thoroughly enjoyed using Fluency Professional 2011 and now 2013 in all my translation work. It is an excellent tool. As another reviewer mentioned, it has all of your glossary, translation memory, and even websites that you use frequently available to you in the bottom pane. It has a a great document preview and the layout makes working with the program a breeze. No menus or tab switching necessary. It does have some issues with maintaining formatting in some cases, especially with PDFs, but it handles PDF files in general better than any of the other CATs I have tried, including Trados, MemoQ, and Wordfast. That was one of the deciding factors in getting Fluency over the others initially. Finally, it has the best, most helpful customer support I have ever dealt with, bar none. Every time I have had an issue with something or found a bug, the Western Standard team was quick to respond to my emails and in many cases if it was a bug, squashed it and released a patch within a day or two. These guys deserve an award. First time buyers, look no further. Second/third/fourth timers, its worth a look.28 out of 33 found this review helpful.
