I like that Wordfast is straightforward to use. You can work absolutely right away without having to set up different things, like with Trados. The initial setup of Wordfast was very straightforward and smooth, with no issues at all. Everything worked absolutely fine, and I could start working on the translation right after finishing the installation. The enhanced and newer versions of Wordfast can convert PDF files to DOC or DOCX, allowing me to start working on translations right away, which I really appreciate. I also found the support for Google Translate plugins valuable when agencies started working with machine translation.

I find Wordfast Pro incredibly useful for my work in medical report translations for medicine research. One of the standout features is the Transcheck report, which helps efficiently ensure consistency in my translations by comparing the source and target translation based on several parameters such as number differences, punctuation differences, white spaces, and tags. This thorough checking process significantly saves time in identifying and correcting errors. Additionally, the machine translation feature with its automated translations offers consistency based on a customizable dictionary, which is particularly helpful as I work with multiple languages including English, Hindi, and Marathi. I appreciate the program's ease of setup and usage, with the interface being user-friendly despite the initial challenge in setting up directory locations. The combination of these features has notably improved my productivity and work quality, and I would strongly recommend Wordfast Pro to others because of its efficiency and the seamless workflow it supports.

I like it because has a version for MAc users that is much more freindly to use than others. I like the look and feel and that there is a disccount for LAC professionals and students.
