Powerful Features



A Unique Translation Experience

While CafeTran Espresso is packed with features, it is not a copy of other CAT tools. Productivity enhancements such as AI and MT integration, smart autocompletion and one-click placement of suggested texts, along with the highly customizable interface, make this a CAT tool unlike any other. Once you get comfortable with CafeTran Espresso, you may not want to translate any other way.


Freelancer-Oriented, But Industrial-Strength

Don’t let the fact that CafeTran Espresso is perfect for freelance translators fool you — this tool also boasts commercial-grade capabilities. The tool can be used with “big data” TM’s (millions of TU’s), complex formats, Studio packages, jobs requiring clipboard translation, and so on. There are also rich QA (quality assurance) and statistics functions. And get this: the standard version of CafeTran Espresso — there is only one! — is capable of acting as a TM server, so team-based collaboration is also supported.


Support for Many File Formats

CafeTran Espresso handles a multitude of file formats, including MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint, LibreOffice, InDesign, Framemaker, AutoCAD and more. It also allows you to translate and edit “bilingual files” created by other translation tools — with full support for xliff, sdlxliff, sdlppx, mqxliff, and txml formats. That’s not all; it also helps in software localization: Java, Mac and .NET.


Works on Macs, Windows/PC’s and Linux

Most CAT tools can only be used on one operating system. Not CafeTran Espresso. Use it on your Mac, Windows/PC, or even Linux-based computer. What is more, a generous licensing approach allows you to buy once, but use on two computers. Install it on both your PC and Mac, ensuring a consistent translation experience across your devices.


Superior Handling of PDF’s

CafeTran’s novel use of the system clipboard makes it possible to translate PDF’s and other difficult file formats, while leveraging the efficiency benefits of CafeTran Espresso.


And much more…

Thanks to over ten years of community-led development, there is much more to CafeTran Espresso than can easily be described here. The best way to get to know CafeTran Espresso is to simply download it and start using it!
