as a translator, if you want to use it as a proper CAT tool, you need to pay a subscription. It's the only way you can add your TMs and Termbases... and basically, keep a copy of your translations without having to align everything afterwards... I'm sure it's very useful for agencies as a managing tool, but the free version for translators is frankly not up to scratch ([b]when are we going to get Autosuggest for the desktop editor?[/b])... At the moment, you can't do much with it. Just translate. It seems to me that the model is basically geared towards translation agencies... who, inevitably, don't allow you to access their TMs or Termbases... and you can't add your autosuggest dictionaries either... all in all, it's ok, but you need to pay to get the most out of it...
