MateCat is an enterprise-level, online CAT tool that aims to make post-editing and outsourcing easy. MateCat is a free, open source software released under the LGPL license. The user can download the code and build a customized version of MateCat from GitHub.
The integration is very easy implemented with email client or web browser, you can translate emails, web pages and quality of translation is on top. Regarding document translation it gives you only 3 formats of documents (.pdf, .pptx and .docx), in my experience this type of documents are sufficient, however it would be better to see other type of documents as well. Also, you have to convert your old document in Word or PowerPoint to latest version, otherwise program won't accept it.
Its wide range of supported file formats is great. Whether I'm working with complex documents, spreadsheets, presentations, or even code files, MateCat handles them effortlessly, maintaining formatting and structure while offering a hassle-free translation experience. The integration of machine translation is great, providing a valuable tool for quickly producing drafts that can then be refined through human expertise. The flexible post-editing options and customizable quality assurance checks ensure that the final output meets the highest linguistic and professional standards.
Limits of the free version: 5MB and 5000 words. No problems with the paid version
Because it is the only software that translates documents while preserving the images and design of the original, it sometimes makes errors in output with aesthetically complex layouts
DeepL thanks to AI produces results identical to Google Translate or in many cases much better and closer to reality.This helps a lot, especially when translating and reading long documents (instead of testing our patience to understand the translated meaning of technical documents).In addition, features such as translating text to images via ocr is amazing and very fast in both input (keyboard shortcut) and output.
What truly sets MateCat apart is its commitment to being accessible to all, thanks to its open-source nature. This remarkable feature not only empowers freelance translators like myself but also serves as a testament to the software's dedication to fostering a global community of linguists.
