Interface Jun 1, 2022

It's cheap and the way it produces a simple XLF file as the bilingual output format and a project TM in no other than the TMX format is more than enough to regard it as one of the best in the market. I wish it had a bit more user friendly interface.


I agree, except for what you write about the interface. Okay, it’s idiosyncratic. But it’s consistent and … intuitive. Did I mention ‘flexible’?

What bothers you about the interface, if I may ask?

Transit Jun 1, 2022

I prefer Star Transit. I just like working with it, and love the fact that you pay for it once and then all updates are included forever.

I was a fan of Transit for many years. But then the size of my termbase grew rapidly and Transit started crashing every n minutes. So I upgraded to CafeTran Espresso that uses plain text files. Life can be simple if you use the right tools.

Star Transit vs. Automotive Translations Jun 1, 2022

As I translate for Automotive mostly, I'm often asked to work with Transit.
To be honest, I've not been able to align my workflow with its logic well enough however hard I tried.
Sometimes it feels like getting under the hood of a German car - 'unnecessarily complicated'.

I always refrained from buying Transit because all I could get was a monthly/yearly subscription, and subscriptions I hate.
Where can you buy Transit once and for all?

You can buy Transit here.

I guess that you are aware of this filter of CafeTran Espresso?

The filter is very good, especially since it groups tags.

If you contact them for a quote, can you please report back what the current price is? My estimation: 2K € (depending on the filters you order).

Reassuringly (?) expensive... Jun 2, 2022

I would also be interested in knowing this, but not in using Transit now that the only client I had that did use it has migrated to another system.

What the enthusiastic Transit user above failed to mention is the cost involved in acquiring a perpetual license - enough to buy the freelance version of Trados and about 10 years' worth of upgrades!

I didn't expect it being so outrageously expensive.

Anyway, I filled out the form for more information about the price of Transit NXT Professional+ which seems to be the only perpetual version available. Will report when/if I get the answer.
