![]() That’s 59 times slower than SDL’s product.Įven such a thing as the “Find” feature seems to take ages. Wordfast 6… minutes! OK, not quite, 5 minutes and 54 seconds (yes, I timed it). Shouldn’t take very long, right? Trados needed 6 seconds to do that. The next thing I tried to do was to run a file analysis with an empty TM. So that’s more than twice the time for WFP4, but it’s nothing compared to some of the other features. The same process took only 12 seconds in Trados. It took it 27 seconds to chain the files and present me with the result. The original files were in Wordfast’s txlf format, but I’ve been using them in Trados thanks to the xliff filter.įile opening is where Wordfast seemed to suffer the least. Now, what about processing speed? I ran a small experiment on a 20k project I was working on. ![]() Some web-based solutions like Memcloud Cloud have shown that’s it’s possible to have a fast and clean-looking app online, and not something that reminds me of the cheap and buggy shareware of the early 00’s. I understand they’re trying to push their online version of the tool, but it doesn’t excuse the unresponsiveness. Really, Wordfast Pro 4 actually uses a browser plugin to render its interface, so the combination is the same, and the experience is very comparable. You know, those web apps that took forever to load with the coffee cup icon – and barely faster after that? It’s exactly the same thing. When you open a piece of software and see a bunch of Java threads show up in your task manager, you know you’re in for a bad day. How disappointed was I to find out that the software had completely changed, in a terrible, terrible way. So when news broke that Wordfast Pro 4 was out, I was curious to see where improvements were made. ![]() Take Trados, it’s far less buggy than it used to be, much faster at processing files and its plugins add tons of useful features. Although CAT tools love making us upset in various ways, you have to admit they’re generally getting better with time.
