Hello everyone!
I have a client with a potential job and wanted to ask all of you for some help. The company needs to translate around 5k pages, and I have seen the type of documents I'll be working on. Most of the pages are repeated, except for a couple of words, so that I only need to translate it once and I can essentially copy/paste through most segments of the pages.

I have a client with a potential job and wanted to ask all of you for some help. The company needs to translate around 5k pages, and I have seen the type of documents I'll be working on. Most of the pages are repeated, except for a couple of words, so that I only need to translate it once and I can essentially copy/paste through most segments of the pages. Since it's a high volume job, I decided to call a fellow translator to help me with it, but I'm having a bit of a hard time selecting the software that would allow me to automatically copy/paste the segments of text that are the same and also, allow the two of us to work remotely, while using the same translation memory, so that, if he has translated a segment on page 2, and I find the same segment on page 5, it automatically copies the text from page 2 to page 5.
Please help and thanks in advance! ▲ Collapse

Do I need to pay for it on each computer of the people involved or is one subscription enough for the two of us?

Although CafeTran surely has its advantages compared to other major players on the market (e.g. Trados or memoQ), I would recommend for you, as a beginner, to start with Wordfast Anywhere, to learn the basics a CAT offers:

it's still free. You just need to create an account at https://freetm.com/
If your file is too big to upload (20 mb limit). You can split it.
You can share the same TM and glossary.
You even have the possibility to be working simultaneously on the same file (provided it's not the exact same area of the file).
Here's a short video for beginners: https://youtu.be/rDhVYY02Cds (also available in French and Spanish)
Hope this helps

How do I tell them I have a Pro? Start CafeTran and check the box:
If you can't see any pop-up window then, follow these instructions:
1. Make sure use CafeTran Espresso 10.5 or higher (CafeTran's Help > About).
2. Don't activate (don't tick the checkbox) the ProZ.com service via the Dashboard, the initial screen.
3. Close the Dashboard via the hamburger menu > Close Dashboard.
4. In the main translation window, select Edit > Preferences > Web services tab > ProZ.com checkbox, then click OK.
5. You will notice a new tab (ProZ.com) on the left middle side, which enables the ProZ.com connection. In this tab, click "Connect CafeTran to ProZ.com services" button.
