The Wordfast Anywhere CAT Tool (WFA) is the industry’s largest free and confidential web-based TM tool (Translation Memory). It allows translators to work from anywhere they have a web browser. Due to its online nature, it allows accessing and sharing TM assets in a secure online translation environment.
Features Overview
Access Your Data Anywhere, Anytime
The Wordfast Anywhere CAT Tool frees you from your desktop application and allows you to work on translation projects from anywhere. You need a web browser. By storing TMs, glossaries, and files in a secure workspace on a centralized server, you can access your data even when you are away from your home or office.
No Software Installation or Updates
With Wordfast Anywhere, you don’t need to download or install any software. Simply go to www.FreeTM.com to launch the most up-to-date version of WFA, and begin translating instantly.
Complete Privacy and Confidentiality
The Wordfast Anywhere CAT Tool offers users a private, password-protected workspace on our centralized server. As a result, all data (TMs, glossaries, files, personal information, etc.) that you upload and store in your WFA workspace remains confidential and is never shared with any third party.
Cross-Platform Compatibility
Because you can access WFA through your browser, it runs on any web-enabled device regardless of the operating system. This includes Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems as well as tablets such as the iPad and leading smartphone operating systems including iPhone, Windows Phone, and Android.
Instant Collaboration
WFA enables you to invite colleagues to share TMs, glossaries, and files in real-time inside WFA’s secure online translation environment.
