Topic: CAT tools, please advise
Poster: AstridDM
Hello everybody,
I need your advise. Until now I had Trados available in the translation Office I worked for, but now, as I am working self-contained, I don't have it any more and am currently using the test version of it. Now the issue is, as I am doing translation as additional occupation and not as my main one, I cannot invest too much money for CAT tools. Is there any cheap way to buy Trados, a version with less functionalities or is there maybe a very old version, which is for free? Is there any possibility to open files in trados format with a free CAT tool and then convert them back in trados fomat as they are needed in trados format by customers?
Thank you very much,
BR,
Astrid
