Any help would be much appreciated.

Thank you and a good weekend to you all

Try WordFast for a Translation Memory tool! Aug 23, 2003

You can try the fully working demo free o f cost by downloading it from www.wordfast.net. If you decide to buy it, a license is going to cost you only EUR 90, taking into acount that you live in a third-world country, just as I do.

Believe me, it is easier to learn and a lot more cost-effective that the one you mention!
