In their own words
CafeTran Espresso
CafeTran Espresso is a computer-assisted translation tool built for translators, with document translation, translation memory and glossary tools. It runs on Windows, macOS and Linux. The product lists AI and machine-translation integration, smart autocompletion, one-click placement of suggested text and a customizable interface. It supports office and publishing formats as well as bilingual formats such as XLIFF, SDLXLIFF, SDLPPX, MQXLIFF and TXML. The maker says translators can accept jobs from clients using SDL Trados, MemoQ, Wordfast and other major CAT tools. The standard version can serve as a translation-memory server for team collaboration, and the system clipboard can support work with PDFs and other difficult formats. The free version runs indefinitely but is limited to 1,000 translation units and 500 glossary terms. The Annual Subscription costs €80 a year and removes those size limits for the subscription year, with updates and full support while current. A One-time Purchase is listed at €200 a month and includes four years of upgrades and support.
