You need dongle for Trados
Jan 25, 2002
You can\'t use Trados because you have to attach a dongle to a PC\'s something-or-another port. And AFAIK a Mac doesn\'t have that port.
However, you could try SDLX (http://www.sdlintl.com/) on your Virtual PC as it doesn\'t require a dongle. I am using a native Mac CAT tool called Alair II (... See more
You can\'t use Trados because you have to attach a dongle to a PC\'s something-or-another port. And AFAIK a Mac doesn\'t have that port.
However, you could try SDLX (http://www.sdlintl.com/) on your Virtual PC as it doesn\'t require a dongle. I am using a native Mac CAT tool called Alair II (http://www.hiruneko.com/). It\'s functions are limited, but it is very Mac-like and intuitive to use, and it doesn\'t slow down your computer either.
You could also try Wordfast (http://champollion.net/), which works as a MS Word template, so if you have Word, you can use it. There is a very helpful mailing list for this software too, and you can join this ML from Yahoo Groups if you\'re interested.
Anyway, HIH, and let\'s hope that there will be a good CAT tool available for the Mac people in the near future too.
