I agree with John here. And if you've never used CAT tools before, then any reduction in your translation quality would have been similar whether you're using online or offline CAT tools. Also, any translator who has become used to working with one CAT tool may well find it difficult to maintain the same level of quality when suddenly switching to another CAT tool, regardless of whether the other tool is online or offline.
