VLTM in Wordfast Pro
Wordfast’s public TM server consists of translation units (TUs) offered by the community of translators and aligned data from public institutions (e.g. the European Union) and is available to all users under the name VLTM (Very Large Translation Memory). The TM is unrestricted, anonymous, and free of charge for Wordfast Anywhere users.
Please note that you must have a fully-functional version of Wordfast Pro in order to connect to remote TMs, including the VLTM. You can request a 30-day free trial license for Wordfast Pro 5 from our website.
