Wordfast is a Computer Aided Translation (CAT) tool. CAT tools do not translate automatically, but save every part of a translator's work into a database so previous translations can be re-used over, and over, and over again.
- FREE DEMONSTRATION MODE
- Wordfast works with 100% functionality in its Demo mode. The only restriction is a limit of 500 translation units/entries in the Translation Memory. This means Wordfast can be used for free on short to medium sized translation projects. All the functions and features work exactly the same as the licensed version. A Wordfast license is required to remove the TM size limitation from the Wordfast Demonstration Mode.

- What does Wordfast actually do?
- Wordfast increases translation productivity and quality by using the computer to save text that is being translated into a database (called a Translation Memory or TM) so that it can be re-used in the future. It also lets the translator use local or remote glossaries or TMs and Machine Translation (MT) software. In some situations, Wordfast can increase translation productivity by as much as 60%.
