Wordfast Classic

What is Wordfast Classic?

Wordfast Classic (WFC) integrates with Microsoft Word to create a powerful translation memory tool that's quick to learn and easy to use. Find out why thousands of freelance translators around the world trust Wordfast Classic as their preferred TM tool.

Intuitive Interface

Because WFC operates fully within MS Word, there is no need to install or run additional applications or extensions. The MS Word interface decreases the learning curve and allows most translators to be up and running in just a few hours. Translators also benefit from the many features and shortcuts already available in MS Word.

Cross-platform compatibility

WFC can run on Windows, Mac, and Linux with MS Word running (excluding Mac Word 2008).

Customizable feature set

User-defined macros allow you to customize the WFC feature set to meet the specific needs of the project.

Integration with Machine Translation and External Dictionaries

WFC provides full and unrestricted access to dictionaries in virtually any format. In addition, translators can link to multiple web-based or local machine translation (MT) engines to provide MT when no correspondence is found in the TM.

Real-time quality assurance

WFC alerts you to possible translation errors while you work, including spelling errors, grammar, punctuation, terminology consistency, tag symmetry, and other time-consuming issues that you can ignore.
