I must say there are many tools that are much better and more translator-friendly...
By TTilch
The tool has many drawbacks, i.e.: - it is very difficult to go through a translation and do global changes - there is no proper concordance search - the one there is does not open in a second window, but always takes you away from the phrase you are currently translating. Very annoying. - it is very difficult to maintain consistency across very similar phrases (often previous translations are not offered as fuzzy matches) - it is not possible to open two similar documents at once, i.e. you cannot refer back and forth between both of them - there is not proper speedy spellcheck function - you cannot display invisible characters (i.e. blank spaces between words) - there is no possibility for the translator to view the translation in final layout before handing it back to the agency/client etc. etc.

Product description MetaTexis is not a stand-alone-program. It runs in Microsoft Word®. This means that all MetaTexis functions can be accessed through Microsoft Word®. Nevertheless, MetaTexis is very powerful and offers many functions and options you will not find in any other CAT tool. The great advantage of the integration in Word is that you do not have to learn a completely new program. You only have to learn some new functions. At the same time, all functions of Microsoft Word® are available. Technically, MetaTexis integrates itself into Microsoft Word® as a COM-Add-in (file "MetaTexis.DLL", located in the MetaTexis program folder). As MetaTexis is a COM-Add-in, it has a shorter start-up time, and many functions perform faster than in the case of normal add-ins. (Note: The COM-Add-ins technique was introduced with Microsoft Office 2000®. For this reason, MetaTexis is not available for Microsoft Office 97®.) Besides the COM-Add-in, there is also a normal add-in ("MetaTexis.dot", also located in the MetaTexis program folder). This add-in is the interface between Microsoft Word® and the MetaTexis COM-Add-in. XTM Cloud is a cloud-based, vendor-neutral Translation Management System with an integrated computer-aided translation tool that helps companies reach their global customers more quickly and effectively by streamlining and fully automating localization processes, while boosting their bottom line.
