What´s more effective: trados or workfast? Thread poster: Gabriele Eiber (Kaessler)

I´m in this business for quite a time, but only worked with trados so far (not using it as a freelancer though). Now I´m considering to include one of these two little helpers into my business.
So my question: What do you think is more effective: trados or workfast?

We used to have a "CAT fight" page on ProZ.com to compare different tools, but it is being upgraded now, so I'm afraid you'll have to wait.
There is also a comparison chart at http://www.wordfast.net/index.php?whichpage=compare&lang=frfr, but I'm afraid it needs an update.

| If you are used to Trados, you don't need Wordfast | Jan 31, 2005 |
I'm a Wf-fan, because most of the time I use Wf with Word-files. But Trados can more than Wf. So it's a luxury to buy Wordfast after Trados, mostly people first get aquainted to CAT using Wf and upgrade later to the much more expensive tools like Trados and DV. But I think it important to support developers of cheap software by buying it, in order to keep up competition. So go ahead and buy Wordfast!

| It depends on.... | Jan 31, 2005 |
Hi Liff,
I think that it depends on your customers. If they ask you to work with trados you should buy it, but if they don't need a specific tool WF is good. It depends on how the market goes.
Good luck,
Valentina

If Trados, use Trados. If Wordfast, use Wordfast. If they don't ask for something special, use Wordfast.
