However, there are a lot of us who do think they are worth spending money and especially time on - it does require patience to get familiar with a tool like Trados Studio. Don't give up - get someone to help you start, and keep trying. It may be easier to start with a project that is already set up, and try out the features. Then... See more

I have never tried MemSource, but I know several colleagues who strongly prefer Trados. ▲ Collapse

From my personal experience I have never had problems when creating target files using MemSource but with Trados this issue comes very often and even the SDL Trados Support doesn't know how to solve it telling you that ''they sympathize the problem''. I strongly recommend MemSource as a tool since it's more efficient, easier to use, intuitive has better QA and fair way better technical support than SDL.
