Hello!

I was wondering if someone knows about any QA software I could use in my MAC. I need to edit .tmxl files from Wordfast Pro. I used to use Xbench, but as I have changed the operating system, I haven't been able to find a similar tool.

Thanks in advance!

How about CafeTran?

I'm not sure but I think that CafeTran is free to use for this QA task (since no glossary or TM is involved here).

Transcheck a feature of Wordfast PRO Jun 5, 2015

Hello Paula
why don't you use the transcheck feature of Wordfast?

It is quite easy nd there are several demo videos in the youtube Wordfast page.

It can be performed on one single file or on several files of a project.

If you're feeling adventurous, you could also try "CheckMate":

http://www.opentag.com/okapi/wiki/index.php?title=CheckMate

(made by the Okapi people, who made the old/new Olifant TMX editor; be warned though: they are all geeks in the most terrifying sense of the word and seem to cater more to corporate localisation engineering teams than lowly translators)

I'd use CafeTran if I were you!

I don't need a computer programme to do that for me. I'm not completely helpless.
