Then I would recommend Wordfast Classic. You have to change the settings once, but from then on your settings are always the same (unless you change them again or create an alternative profile), and if your TMs and glossaries are located in a location that is fixed (i.e. not in a folder that you move around) (and you always use the same TMs and glossaries, which I think would suit you), you can start translating immediately. When you're done, just click the "Quick Clean" button.

You don't need [sentence] segmentation to make a termbase (glossary) work. You do need segmentation to make a translation memory work, but it will work with paragraph segmentation just fine.
