Hello to everyone!
I translate mostly from English into Russian. I am already tired and fed up with the manual translation. I am for the manual translation with both hands. But when the words are repeated, it is so pity, I do not use any cat program!
I would like to hear your opinions: what cat to use if to start working with it? I work for about 15 years manually. But it is enough. Even for such a conservative like me, it is time to begin using a CAT program.
There are so many programs! I cannot decide what to choose. What are your recommendations? I do not know how to use it and I want something simple for the beginning. Maybe there is a CAT program that is easy and many translators use for a long time already.

If you ask me, Memsource currently has the best designed UI of all CAT tools: it is unobtrusive and just works. Unlike memoQ and Studio, it is very light/fast, and virtually bug-free.
Make sure to use the Desktop Editor though, as their Cloud Editor can be a bit slow. Your translation memories and termbases are stored in the cloud, as are your documents.
