Interesting: I just posted a similar question Jun 8, 2010

I'm seeing all these terms - TMs and all the various aspects of the different software types. It seems overwhelming. Maybe it's not that bad once you start.

I never bothered with CAT tools because I'm a really fast translator and typist, but if I want to build my business, I will have to invest in that.

I almost downloaded Wordfast Classic, but my computer is at its limits and the file seems to be fairly big. And just the download looked so complicated.

So any of you helpful people out there, I look forward to your support.

Wordfast Classic - easy download Jun 8, 2010

Hi Elli,

The file is 1.6 MB - which is about the size of a single 6 megapixel photo. The download is not complicated: go to http://www.wordfast.net/index.php?whichpage=downloadpage&lang=engb , select the interface language in the first drop-down box, the operating system in the second, and then just click on the active link.

The manual – available on the same page, under Download – is less than 1 MB.

Give it a try – it is well worth. Good luck!
Attila
