I am a new member of this forum.
I am trying to get into the freelance translation business and I have some questions.

What type of translating software would you recommend to buy?
What are some of the features to be looking for?

Hi fayarks!!

There are tons of tools for translators. You have translating dictionaries and machine translators, CATools like Wordfast and Trados, online resources, etc.
It depends on the volume that you work with. The tools can be expensive and if you are not full time in it, they might not be a good investment. Also your fields of expertise, and the PC you have...

There's a forum here specifically about CATools
