Hello,

I’m a translator currently using SDL (and being happy with it), but I’m looking for an easy-to-use CAT Tool that could be used as a proofreading tool in English (setting the language pair to U.S. EN>U.S. EN or UK EN>U.S. EN) for a proofreader colleague of mine.

The requisites are that the CAT tool:

- Be compatible with Mac
- Be compatible with InDesign (or its exchange format idml)
- Be compatible with pdf documents
- Allow for review of changes by someone without the software

Honestly, I don't know why CAT tools manufacturers haven't penetrated the proofreading market. There are millions of proofreaders in the U.S. who still do their job manually. The technical features of CAT tools should be perfectly applicable to proofreading...

Anyway, if anyone has any idea, I would appreciate some advice.

Thank you.

Christelle
