History and usage
CafeTran development started in 2005 under the name TexTran.
Its usage grew over the years. It is now frequently mentioned as one of the mainstream tools in 2019. [2] [3] Jost Zetzsche mentioned it many times over the years in "Tool Box", his monthly translator newsletter. Surveys also showed that it is used by an increasing share of CAT tool users. [4] [5]
Cafetran Espresso is highly rated in the ProZ.com community[6], is one of the seven tools vetted by the website and offered as part of the advanced membership.[7]
The current version of CafeTran is 10.8 "Cornetto", released on September 16th, 2020.
File formats
The internal bilingual format used by CafeTran is OASIS's standard XLIFF. For translation memories, it uses the TMX format. CafeTran's glossary format is a tab-delimited file, but it can import Excel and TBX glossaries. It can also convert certain bilingual formats, e.g. SDLXLIFF and TTX, directly to TMX.
Supported source document formats
CafeTran can translate (open, edit and save) the following file formats[8] [9][10]: Microsoft Word (DOCX, DOCM), Excel (XLSX, XLSM), PowerPoint (PPTX), OpenOffice/LibreOffice (ODT, ODS, ODP, ODG), Apple iWork (.pages, .numbers, .key/.keynote), AbiWord (ABW), plain text files, SubRip (SRT), iTunes (ITT), SVG, HTML/XHTML, Adobe FrameMaker (MIF), InDesign (IDML, INX), QuarkXPress (tagged DTP files), AutoCAD (DFX), Trados 2007 (TTX) and 2009+ (SDLXLIFF), memoQ (MQXLIFF), Wordfast Pro 3 (TXML) and Pro 4/5 (TXLF), Star Transit (Transit XML), various XLIFF variants (e.g. Déjà Vu, Memsource, MateCat, Crowdin, Smartcat), TMX, Java .properties, .NET RESX, Mac .strings, and C/C++ LOC.
Supported translation package formats
CafeTran can import and export the following translation packages from other translation programs, without the need for external manipulation or processing in the proprietary applications:[11] MemoQ package (MQXLZ), MemoQ handoff package (MQOUT), Trados forward packages (SDLPPX) and return packages (SDLRPX), and generic and LionBridge XLIFF packages (XLZ).
