I also published a similar video about Heartsome Translation Studio 8.1, a distant "cousin" of Swordfish:

Yes, I thought I had hit Alt+Down on the last segment, but it looks like it was not the case, and I didn't notice it immediately. I added a note to the video.

Thank you Jan 8, 2013

I've been considering purchasing Swordfish, and this video was very helpful. Thanks!

Which CAT tool? Jan 8, 2013

It would be interesting to read your reasons to go for Swordfish. Are you looking for a Java based tool? If so: did you consider Heartsome, Wf Pro or CafeTran?

If not: what makes SW III so attractive for you?

If French Foodie wants to expand his/her options, here is a more extensive list of videos in which I cover the same basic workflow in other tools:

OmegaT -> http://youtu.be/O7y6zWzV-yY?hd=1
MemSource -> http://youtu.be/VonxyPL0Iic?hd=1
Wordfast Anywhere -> http://youtu.be/ww28wyVoYSw?hd=1
CafeTran -> http://youtu.be/h1vUGxaRCvI?hd=1
MetaTexis -> http://youtu.be/P_I3wB622C4?hd=1
Across -> http://youtu.be/tyS04u7quag?hd=1
Heartsome -> http://youtu.be/DDIctwQHqAo?hd=1

Java is usually desirable when you want a non-Windows solution, but this can be achieved by other means as well. For instance, MemSource and Wordfast Anywhere work on Mac and Linux even though they are not Java-based.

Tools for which I plan to add similar videos later on: Fluency, Wordfast Classic, Wordfast Pro, Déjà Vu, memoQ, SDL Trados Studio. If someone from Star is willing to send me a copy of Transit, I'll include it as well

For the Transit part I'd say: don't bother. Meanwhile it is absolutely vague whether there will be any new versions ever. STAR is like a closed clamshell.

About your videos: *PLEASE* add a simple term list, showing adding/insertion of terms in your video. IMO this is crucial for any CAT tool.

Thank you for the videos Jan 9, 2013

Dear Dominique,

Great job. These videos are invaluable for those who want to have a comprehensive view on the available CAT tools but don't want to install each of them.

I can only support the idea to introduce also the terminology handling modules of these programs.

Regards,

Gyula
