Hello everybody,
I'm a translator since few months, so I'm a beginner. I would like to start using a cat tool, but I'm not ready to buy one, as I don't know yet if this is going to by MY job.

Could you tell me if there is any free cat tool available for Mac? I know Across, but it doesn't work for Mac.

Thank you very much for your help!

Cristina

If you're paying member of Proz.com, you get CafeTran for free, which is probably the best CAT tool for OS X at the moment.

I am a paying member, but didn't subcribe for their 'new super magical package', so no cafetran for me.

That's correct. CafeTran is only provided as part of the Proz Plus package. When you're a 'standard' paying user of Proz.com, you can use CafeTran in its demo mode:

In the Demo mode, CafeTran sets the 1000 segments limit for the translation memories (including the recalled ones) and 500 terms limit for the glossary.
