It supports a wide range of file formats and it has been around since year 2000 (!!!). OmegaT is a very powerful tool for those of you who like to spend time tinkering and figuring out the ins and outs of software.

That is, if you understand how to use the thing. If you know what you’re doing, OmegaT can help you achieve the best results you could possibly imagine, on par with professional, paid CAT tools like SDL Trados, memoQ, etc. The interface is very clunky, and the software feels dated, but the core translation requirements are there, and they’re stronger than any other free CAT tool you could ever download. As a proud Mac owner, OmegaT is the CAT tool that I started working with, and let me tell you, it was not a pretty experience, at least for me.
