Hi, I've switched to Mac years ago because of recurrent problems with windows and have had not one single problem since. I'm running Studio and Business Manager Essential 6.1.79 under Windows/Parallels, which works fine but I still would like to switch to Mac completely. I understand there is CaféTran to replace Studio (haven't tried it yet though), but what would I use to replace TBM under Mac?... I've been looking around but haven't found anything, so suggestions would be appreciated... See more

Protemos and Wordfast Pro May 21

If you are looking for all desktop, not sure what to recommend.

Desktop CAT tools that run on Mac:
- Wordfast Pro
- OmegaT
- CafeTran

Wordbee, SmartCAT, MateCAT, etc.

Hope this helps,

But don't forget to mention that Wordfast Pro does not run on Intel Macs under Sonoma 14.5

Planning/invoicing seems to be the hardest to find May 21

Thanks for the suggestions, I have worked with Wordfast, also Wordbee etc. but I prefer to keep a desktop tool for translation as well so I think I'll try out CafeTran, I've read a lot of good about that. The main problem seems to be planning/invoicing, I really like TBM and I have used TO3000 a while ago but both don't run under Mac and I don't seem to be able to find something similar... I'll look into Protemos.
