Most helpful review	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. 26 out of 26 found this review helpful.

You can work directly on Ms Word and other files so it's really helpful. You can align bilingual texts for TM also. I did not experienced any crash too. Only thing, I think it's the most expensive on the market. 1 out of 1 found this review helpful. Read more reviews →
Product description	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.	MultiTrans Prism Freelance provides access to the essential functionalities for a freelance translator to work locally (not connected to a corporate network domain). This stand-alone edition of MultiTrans Prism includes the ability to build and import TextBase Translation Memories and TermBases of limited sizes. It also gives you the ability to use the fully interactive Translation Agent within Microsoft Word, Microsoft PowerPoint, and WordPerfect. The Translation Agent enables users to interactively or automatically replace paragraphs, segments (exact & fuzzy matches), sub-segments and terms while they work with their preferred editor. Further Advanced Leveraging TM (ALTM) technology provides sub segment matching, auto-alignment, and the context for all matches found. It also comes with our XLIFF Editor, which does everything the Translation Agent does but extends your ability to work on tagged format files such as XML, HTML, MSOffice 2007 and 2010, FrameMaker and InDesign. The XLIFF Editor also has integrated QA tools to check for translation completeness and terminology consistency. The Freelance license includes a training session on the Web and a reduced price for ongoing support.
