ticlatan . Having used various Across versions since Across v3, I was really looking forward to the new version. So here are some of my observations (most of which also apply to previous versions):
I use both the client mode (for 3 customers) and the standalone mode (for many other customers). I've helped other translators to get started with Across, and I must say that the learning process is quite straightforward; translators usually start getting productive within a few minutes after they've installed the system.
Use of the translation memory and of the terminology database is highly intuitive. However, some initial guidance is needed (and is provided in the documentation) to understand how external TMs and terminology databases can be imported (i.e. for a specific customer, project, subject, etc.).
The documentation is easy to understand and very comprehensive.
Support is readily provided. If you experience a problem and submit a ticket, they will help you until your problem is really solved.
The reports generated by Across are very informative. Once you check in a file, the report will indicate how much work you are actually looking at (pre-translations? repetitions? fuzzy matches?).
Data exchange with customers/suppliers who do NOT use Across is very easy using exchange formats such as XLIFF and TMX.
All in all, why doesn't Across deserve five stars? Here are my reasons:
1. The import of very large TMX files simply takes too long (other TM systems enable on-the-fly integration).
2. I hate the subscription model, and I know other translators who feel the same way. Even Microsoft has returned to offering a conventional purchase model alongside its subscription model.
3. Why does the input window have to be separate from the display window? Input and display should take place in the same window!
4. Across has improved the arrangement of its settings, but the user settings and system settings are still overloaded.
Despite these points of criticism, I believe that Across is the best CAT system on the market. Basically, all CAT systems offer a similar functionality spectrum, but to me, Across is the most successful in terms of how it delivers the functionality to the users.
