I need Trados, but I only have $225. So, let me know if you want to sale your old version (with dongle).

Download Wordfast (http://www.champollion.net) and try it. It is Trados compatible and will only cost you $170.

Hello Denis,

I like Wordfast a lot (which I cant say from Trados), but unfortunately it is not that compatible like we all want it to be...for example I have a big client who sends me .ttx files and therefore I have to use Trados....I can not even use SDLX

Regards,

Natália *who wishes we all could work with wordfast*

This may make them feel less inclined to sell. For example, I have Trados 1.1, with dongle and the original English manuals, and I would consider selling it, since I no longer use it. But: I paid the equivalent of $2,000 for it, in 1997. What should I ask for it?

MetaTexis is an alternative Apr 29, 2003

Hi Doug,



if you need a program which is able to import and export TRADOS documents you can also use MetaTexis (for more information see CAT tool center).



You get MetaTexis *for free* if you become a Platinum member until April 30th.
