Here is a rundown of features and reviews to help you make your decision. | |  |  | | Name | CafeTran Espresso | Smartcat | | Review breakdown | | | | Most helpful review | Great new features with each new build Just in a few words, it is different. CafeTran's developer is not only a programmer but he is a translator as well, that is why he adds all those unique features helping translators. One pays EUR 225 only to upgrade from SDL Trados Studio 2009 Freelance to 2011 version but you can buy CafeTran at only EUR 80. Amazing!

Read more reviews → | 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!10 out of 13 found this review helpful.
