Wordfast Anywhere (WFA) is the online version of the popular Wordfast computer assisted translation (CAT) program that provides much of the functionality of the Classic and Pro desktop versions. Instead of being installed as a program on the user’s computer, WFA is made accessible from Wordfast’s servers via a web browser, regardless of the operating system used (Windows, Mac, Linux, etc.). Every effort has been made to ensure that the user interface is as close as possible to the other Wordfast flavours: toolbars, icons, shortcuts and working methods. A Wordfast Classic or Pro user should be able to use WFA with almost zero assimilation time. | Wordfast Anywhere (WFA) is the online version of the popular Wordfast computer assisted translation (CAT) program that provides much of the functionality of the Classic and Pro desktop versions.
