How easy is it to learn?

Why use anything else??
Review by 
Justin Peterson . It's free. It works. It´s easy to learn. Why use anything else? I've been using it, exclusively, for about 5 years now, with no problems, and at no cost. The built-in MT is excellent, speeding up translation while enhancing quality. What I don´t get is how they keep on selling so many expensive CATs, which require installation, training, and generate a lot of complaints and frustration. (No, I am in no way associated with WF).

How easy is it to learn?

Broad range of tools. Powerful
Review by 
Philippe Locquet . I love using Wordfast Anywhere.
It’s very fast because it runs on servers, not your own computer.
You can easily connect free TMs and Glossaries in a small number of steps.

It offers great compatibility: it supports sdlxliff files and a wide number of files.

It offers a built-in pdf OCR.

It offers powerful translation tools:
_Analyse
_Extract frequents (repetitions)
_Pretranslate
_QA/Trans check
_Built-in spellchecker.
_Leverages also your built-in browser spellchecker.
_You can export and import back an OFRT doc that you can review in MS Word for better spellcheck and grammar check.
_You can import, export and share with colleagues your TMs and Glossaries.
_You can open and edit your TMs
_5 Pre-set MTs you can connect to easily.
_MT concordance check
_Online dictionaries fast access
_Edit source
And much more. To see tips and functionalities, I’ve created a series about WFA on my YouTube channel FI2Pro, watch here: https://youtu.be/Lyy4JkIqqJ8?list=PLcHsCymYkwXqUWwNXXsshS31u6--A-DkT

I’ve been using this tool for a long time, and I find very little flaws, the support team is great and in my opinion, the value offered by this free tool is amazing if you leverage all the functionalities.
As it runs in your browser and is hosted on Wordfast Servers, you don’t need to worry about updates and you can access it from any computer, tablet, smartphone.

I can’t praise it enough and thank enough the hard working developers team that enable us to have a powerful CAT tool for free!
