Thanks a lot, that was really helpful! I am actually using Wordfast Pro for 6 years, but was not aware of this feature. You live and you learn:)

Yes sometimes there's a lot of great stuff that goes below the radar for some reason.
It seems that the same feature is making its way to WFP5 too in a future update.

As for on-line and cloud solutions I used a few, but I am not really enthusiastic about them - some of them (Matecat) do not have Russian spellcheck, and others (Memsource and wordbee) are too awkward to use. Anyway, I am probably too conservative and feel safer with my TMs and termbases stored on a hard drive (with the copies on two external drives, for paranoia's sake:). [/quote]
Thank you for your feedback!
For those using web-based CAT tools, there exist the option to leverage the Browser spellchecker, and choose your dictionnaries. I know it works very well in Chrome and in Firefox. I haven't tested the Russian spellchecker though (i wish I spoke russian too :) ). To that effect I had published a while ago a video showing how to manage languages and spellcheck in Firefox, here: [url removed] for those that use web-based solutions.
My bests :)
