Created in 1999 by Yves Champollion in Paris, France, Wordfast is a
translation memory software with terminology processing in real time.
Worldfast was compatible with the IBM WebSphere Translation Server and
other translation memory software like Trados. During a few years, a
basic version of Wordfast was also available for free, with a manual in
16 languages. In 2010, Wordfast is the most widely used translation
memory solution on both Windows and Mac platforms,, and the second most

SDL Trados), with over 20.000 customer deployments, including the
